children, 16 women and 10 men.
One of the mums is from Canada, and the rest of the hostages are from Lesotho. Tom Thabane, secretary for Lesotho's six-man-ruling government.
Police said the casualties among the hostages were apparently caused by the wild firing of the hijackers. They said no policemen were injured.
The shooting broke out about 20 minutes after the pope arrived in Maseru. The hijackers, who seized the bus Tusley, demanded to meet with the pope and Lesbès's king, M Moshesoho II, a government official.

Soviets allow U.S.to witness blast
The Associated Press
SEMPALATINSK. U.S.S.R. — The land heaved and windows broke more than two miles away yesterday when the Soviet Union detonated an underground nuclear bomb for the U.S. exerts to witness a Soviet nuclear blast.
The U.S. experts站 in a chill wind on the barren test site at the Forward Command Post Semipalmata Polygon about 1,700 miles southeast of Moscow in the republic of Kazakhstan.
Within moments of the 11 a.m. blast, a reddish dust cloud rolled above the spot where Soviet scientist Yuri Vavilov discovered a shaft drilled 642 yards into hard rock.
Some observers seemed a bit quiessey from their proximity to the Soviets, but Soviet observers watching a similar test on Aug. 17 in Babylon watched more closely from the
blast site — too far away to feel the impact. It was the first time Swiss experts were allowed to see a U.S. monitor it with their own equipment.
Experts are first in U.S. to see Russian nuclear test
After yesterday's test, the Soviet scientists quickly checked their instruments and announced they had determined the force of the blast.
The information was gathered in a few millionths of a second before the explosion destroyed the sensor cable buried a few yards from the nuclear reactor. They were experts, who monitored the blast with U.S. technology, have agreed to
release the data within a month
The blast was designed to have a force of 100 to 150 kilotons, about 10 times that of the atomic bomb the United States dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, at the end of World War II. It created an atmosphere hydrogen atoms detonated in the atmosphere at the height of nuclear testing in the 1960s.
a kiloton is equivalent to the explosion of 1,000 tons of TNT.
The Hagfors Observatory of the Swedish Defense Research Establishment said the Simpaltinik measured between 30 and 150 kilotons.
The joint experiment was the culmination of a "dream for any experts who have spent their careers watching this process from a distance," said C. Paul Johnson, the chief U. negotiator at the Geneva talks on limiting nuclear
L. Gen, Arkady D. Ilyenkov, chief of the Simpatilinax test site, said it was too early to worry about running system was non-intrusive — meaning it does not interfere with the blast or pick up of explosives. The testing the testing would like to keep secret.
Iylenko called for a continuing search for simpler, more precise measuring techniques.
Spokesmen for both sides agreed the experiments would speed negotiations in Geneva on verification protocols needed to ratify two treaties on nuclear explosions in the 1970s that limit the force of nuclear explosions.
Mecham gets support Moderates do better in GOP primary
PHOENIX I five months after lawmakers ousted Gov. Evan Mecham from office, voters have given him a measure of vengeance by rejecting seven Republican legislators helped impede and convict him.
"We stand at the dawn of a great awakening in Arizona," Mecham supporter Jerry Gillespie said yesterday night after defeating Senate President Carl Kunukan in the GOP debate. But the results of the voting hardly
constituted a sweep by the pro-Mecham forces. Republicans who opposed him had little difficulty gaining nomination in areas outside his traditional strongholds of rural and some parts of suburban Phoenix.
Overall, 35 GOP legislators faced primary challenges, and 27 of those advanced to the general election. One of the levers was Rep Gary Giorgio, who had been a Modan supporter who lost his host the Phoenix seat to a moderate.
