Here are some media reports :http://www.rte.ie/...
Real weird 136 escaped 10 people still on board they claim to be from al Qaeda and the destination is Iran. The BBC has reported :
http://news.bbc.co.uk/...
RTE have said the hijackers are Turkish nationals and the BBC have said they are from Iran.
To me it is irrelevant what nationality these people are, what I'd like to know what kind of treatment do they expect when or if they arrive in Iran ?
Are they suffering from the Fox news syndrome thinking they'll get a heroes welcome ?
Somebody should tell these Guys that the only thing waiting for them in Tehran is a rope ! that is of course if the survive a Turkish anti terrorist raid on the plane.
One thing for sure there is no shortage of dumb dangerous idiots on this planet.
Update:
Police in Turkey have found modelling clay inside the package that two men, who had hijacked a plane from Cyprus, said contained explosives.
The two men hijacked a Turkish passenger plane but later surrendered after it landed in Antalya in southern Turkey.
been a few of these in Turky over the last year and half
One of the men is believed to be Turkish and the other was carrying a Syrian passport.
Turkish police also detained a third person as a suspected accomplice of the hijackers, who left the plane together with passengers who managed to escape after the aircraft landed.
RTE got this almost right but the BBC claimed both were from Iran
Police are still investigating the motives of the hijackers and declined to comment on reports that they were members of al Qaeda.
al Qaeda my arse
According to passenger accounts, the two men said they were members of the terrorist network and had a package that they claimed to be a bomb.
There were 136 passengers and crew on board when the plane made an emergency landing.
Most of those on board managed to escape, including the pilots, but the hijackers held six people on the plane for a time.
The two hijackers reportedly wanted to take the plane to Iran but the pilot was believed to have told them they needed to refuel.
The Iranian foreign ministry has condemned the hijacking and said it would have rejected the hijackers' request to land in Iran.
Like I said before these people are nutjobs
The plane, operated by the private Turkish airline company Atlas Jet, was flying from northern Cyprus to Istanbul.
