How sick is this?

Yesterday, six hijackers in Siem Reap, Cambodia, held a teacher and a group of 29 students, aged 2 to 6 and of various nationalities, hostage for six hours at the city´s international school. A violent shoot out with police ended the hijacking, but it was too late for Maxim Michalik, a Canadian two year old, who was murdered when the hijackers were not given what they asked for. Two of the hijackers died in the shoot out and four were arrested.
