Hostages taken at Jamaican airport

A man is holding hostages on a plane at an airport in Montego Bay in
Jamaica after apparently sneaking aboard the Canada-bound charter
flight.

Seven people - believed to be crew
members on the CanJet 737 - are still being held on the plane after the
passengers were all released.

A shot has been heard but no one appears to have been injured.

Police said negotiations to free the remaining hostages are under way.

A
CanJet spokesman said: "Flight 918 was carrying 182 passengers and
crew. All passengers have been safely removed from the aircraft, but
CanJet crew and the armed man remain on board.

"Our understanding is that no harm has come to anyone remaining on board."
