Russian authorities are questioning five men suspected of taking about a dozen school children hostage and commandeering a helicopter for a 10-million-dollar ransom. The alleged gunmen were captured early Monday in Southern Russia ending a four-day drama. The kidnappers initially demanded to be flown to Iran but police now believe their only aim was 10 million dollars paid by the government, most of which has now been recovered.
