]]> There’s a fresh hostage crisis outside Paris.

French police say an armed man’s holding two hostages in a post office.

There are no immediate links to the jihadi attack and hostage taking in France a week ago.

Police have cordoned off parts of Colombes, a city located in the north western suburbs of Paris.

The French radio network RTL’s reporting it involves a man known to police with a history of petty crime.

He called the police himself and claimed to be armed and holding three people in post office.

Reports suggested it was likely a local with possible mental illness.

According to officials, the situation in Colombes does not appear to be related to last week’s terrorism in France and the further scares this week in Belgium and Germany.
