Libyan Plane Hijack
A plane on an internal flight in Libya has been hijacked and forced to land in Malta with 118 people on board. Two hijackers on board the state-owned Afriqiyah Airways plane have hand grenades and are threatening to blow up the aircraft, according to Malta state television. However, Maltese government sources said that a single hijacker was known to be on board Flight 8U209 and had told crew that he had a grenade. He said he was "pro-Gaddafi" and would release all passengers - but not the crew - if his as-yet-undisclosed demands were accepted, local media reported. No passengers have been seen leaving the Airbus A320. The Maltese Prime Minister said negotiating teams were on standby. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016...ack-situation/ |
