It's a "southern looking man". Conflicting reports say he let 1 to 3 people go. I Wonder if they are muslim.

Any updates on this? I'd just hate to see the peace loving Germans feel the sting of Islamic terrorism....

Seems to be a man of turkish descent, 25 yrs old. He has a gun and fired a shot into the air. He's making political demands. And he wants to talk to the mayor of Bremen. Police says he's making a calm and clear impression.
Spiegel Arcticle (in german)
He just released another 4 hostages, 11 remain.

Thank you for your interet, the hostages are free. The 17 years old hijacker is a radical Islamist, according to local police.
