比利時逮捕三名綁架人質嫌犯

Belgian police have detained three people who took a hostage in the western city of Ghent on Monday. The hostage was released unharmed.

The motive remains unclear, but a Belgian official said Monday there is no indication the incident is linked to terrorism, the Islamic State or the ongoing hostage situation in a Sydney, Australia, cafe.

Despite initial reports that the suspects were armed, a spokeswoman for the state prosecutor said no weapons were found.比利時警方拘捕了三名涉嫌綁架人質者。這三人涉嫌星期一在西部城市根特綁架了三名人質。人質已安全獲釋。

目前還不清楚綁架的動機，不過比利時官員星期一說，沒有跡象顯示該事件與恐怖主義、伊斯蘭國或是澳大利悉尼的綁架事件有關聯。

起初有報道說，綁架者帶有武器，但比利時檢察官的發言人說，並沒有發現武器。
