Six masked gunmen stormed an international school in Cambodia today, seizing dozens of young children from several countries. Witnesses reported shots being fired at the building.
The hostage crisis unfolded at Cambodia’s tourism hub of Siem Reap, near its famed Angkor temples and home to several expatriates, and quickly drew concern from governments around the region amid reports of up to 15 nationalities among the hostages.
The attackers’ motives were not immediately clear.
