France: Paris hostage-taker surrenders

A man who holed up in a post office in a suburb northwest of Paris with two hostages on Friday surrendered and has been arrested, a police source said.

"There was no assault, the man gave himself up", the source said, adding that the hostages were "shocked but not injured".

Police have reported that the gunman, who was armed with a Kalashnikov, was "unbalanced" and angry at breaking up with his girlfriend.
