Kuwaiti charged with Brazil Jews hostage-taking
WARSAW - A Kuwaiti who held three young Brazilian Jews hostage in a Warsaw hotel Monday has been charged with hostage-taking and faces a maximum five years in prison, a Polish police official said Tuesday. The man, identified only as Mohamed A., 23, was drunk during the incident. 'He has pleaded guilty,' Warsaw police spokesman Marcin Szyndler told AFP. 'He has shown remorse and is prepared to cover the costs of the police operation,' he added.

According to Poland's PAP news agency the hostage-taker is related to Kuwait's ambassador to Poland.
That's why the suspect is remorseful and willing to cough up jizya ...
The suspect, who locked himself inside a hotel room with the three teenagers on Monday morning, told a police he was carrying explosives and threatened to set them off. A police anti-terrorist brigade stormed the room and quickly freed the 16-year-olds in a four-star Warsaw hotel.

Along with thousands of young Jews from across the globe, the three Brazilians were in Poland as part of the annual March of the Living, a Holocaust memorial event which took place May 1 at the Auschwitz-Birkenau former Nazi German concentration camp.
