We have become pawns of leaders who have taken Kenya hostage

On August 23, 1973 an escaped convict entered into a bank in Sweden. Jan-Erik Olsson fired at the ceiling with his loaded submachine gun and shouted, “The party has just begun!”

After wounding a policeman who had responded to a silent alarm, the robber took four bank employees hostage. Three of the four hostages were female. Jan-Erik Olsson demanded money, a getaway car and for the release of an imprisoned convict. He also demanded to be allowed to leave with the four hostages to ensure his safe passage.
