ROME - A man who took 12 hostages at a day-care centre in southern Italy has begun releasing his captives.
The top police official in Reggio Calabria says five youngsters have been freed, leaving six children and the teacher inside.
RAI state television showed footage from inside the classroom, with the man waving a box cutter and shouting as children mill around him, some of them crying.
Several of the man's relatives, including his father, brother, uncle and a cousin, are at the scene and are taking turns speaking with him.
