Aussie tour group held hostage in China

I am heading off to China next week and was surprised to see this story on the Sydney Morning Herald: Ten Australians freed as hijacker shot dead.

Fortunately no-one was injured. The hijacker who was armed with explosives was shot dead by a sniper.

The ordeal lasted for two hours in the popular tourist city of Xian, famous for its terracotta warriors.
