  H.E.S.S. observations of the old-age (>10^4yr; ~0.5deg diameter) composite
supernova remnant (SNR) W 28 reveal very high energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission
situated at its northeastern and southern boundaries. The northeastern VHE
source (HESS J1801-233) is in an area where W 28 is interacting with a dense
molecular cloud, containing OH masers, local radio and X-ray peaks. The
southern VHE sources (HESS J1800-240 with components labelled A, B and C) are
found in a region occupied by several HII regions, including the ultracompact
HII region W 28A2. Our analysis of NANTEN CO data reveals a dense molecular
cloud enveloping this southern region, and our reanalysis of EGRET data reveals
MeV/GeV emission centred on HESS J1801-233 and the northeastern interaction
region.
