Hijacked 737 Jet Lands in New Delhi
The Associated Press
Wednesday, Oct. 3, 2001; 4:14 p.m. EDT

NEW DELHI, India –– A Boeing 737 jetliner was hijacked Wednesday night on a domestic flight from Bombay and landed in New Delhi, a private Indian television station reported.

Star News said all 54 passengers were unharmed but they remained aboard the jet, which was parked at an isolated area at Indira Gandhi International Airport. The plane was surrounded by police and commandos.

There was no word on the number of hijackers.

The TV station reported that authorities opened a communications link with the hijackers.

The jet belonged to the Alliance company, a domestic subsidiary of Indian Airlines.

India has been on alert since the Sept. 11 terror attacks in the United States, in which hijackers seized jetliners and struck the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

Wonder who's behind this.

Considering the eternal bad blood that exists between India & Pakistan, my guess is Pakistani terrorists, but we'll have to wait and see.


I believe in the Faith... that can save me.
I believe in the hope and I pray...
That someday it may raise me... above these badlands

Agreed. But it's still scary enough to know that hijackers can still board a plane and overcome it.

Looks like there's a good chance you're right
Froy. Hopefully this time the passengers will get out ok too.

duh - I meant to include this, otherwise what I wrote makes no sense at all:

Suspected Islamic militants exploded a car bomb near the entrance to India's disputed Kashmir state legislature on Monday, then opened fire on security forces inside, killing 40 people and wounding dozens of others. A Pakistan-based militant group, Jaish-e-Mohammed, claimed responsibility.

On Dec. 24, 1999, five hijackers seized an Indian Airlines flight carrying 178 passengers and 11 crew members after it left Nepal. The captors killed one passenger and released others early in the hijacking. The hijackers left the plane in Afghanistan with 155 hostages on board on Dec. 31 after India agreed to release three prisoners.

Whoa...
You mean there's still acts of terrorism being commited? Even after Dubya declared "War" on terrorism? Didn't he say something about "ridding the WORLD of terrorism"? How dare they? And, what are "we" doing about it?

Yes, as usual, I'm full of wise assed questions and not a single answer... go figure

I think I heard the Doomsday clock being reset in India and Pakistan.




There are 3 types of leaders and heroes.
Some are born leaders, some are built from the ground up by experience, and some are the right people at the right time.

Indian Govt: Hijacking a False Alarm

Updated: Wed, Oct 03 7:06 PM EDT
By LAURINDA KEYS, Associated Press Writer

NEW DELHI, India (AP) - A reported plane hijacking Wednesday night on a domestic flight from Bombay was a false alarm caused by an anonymous phone call and confusion aboard the aircraft, the government said.

Earlier, civil aviation officials said hijackers seized a Boeing 737 jetliner shortly after its departure from Bombay. Reports said 54 people and crew members were on board.

National security force commandos surrounded the plane early Thursday at Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi. Fire vehicles and ambulances ringed the runway.
