Sudanese plane hijackers surrender in Libya
0 Comments | AFP, August, 2008
TRIPOLI (AFP) — The hijackers of a Sudanese airliner surrendered to Libyan authorities on Wednesday, several hours after all passengers on board were freed, a Libyan official told AFP.
"They have now surrendered," the official said from the airport in Kufra, a remote desert oasis in southeastern Libya, where the plane was forced to land on Tuesday.
The two attackers, said to be Darfur rebels, hijacked the plane shortly after take-off from Darfur's main city of Nyala on a flight to Khartoum with 87 passengers on board.
An airport official had said earlier that the hijackers were demanding a flight plan to Paris and fuel.
