Hijakced Saudi Plane Lands in Syria

DAMASCUS, Syria �� Hijackers seized a Saudi plane carrying more
than 200 people Saturday and ordered it to fly to Syria, where it
landed after having been initially refused permission to do so,
Damascus airport officials said.

Earlier, the hijacker had threatened to blow up the plane unless
it was allowed to fly to Iraq, Saudi officials in Riyadh said.

The Boeing 777 plane, carrying 198 passengers and 9 crew, took
off from Jiddah, Saudi Arabia and was en route to London when it
was hijacked. Nothing is known about the motives or identity of
the hijackers.

Word of the hijacking first emerged in Cairo, Egypt: Egyptian
civil aviation officials said the pilot had radioed them at 3:55
p.m. local time to say the plane had been commandeered and the
hijacker was insisting that it fly to Damascus.

When it got there, the hijackers asked to land and were denied
permission, Cypriot air traffic controllers said on condition of
anonymity. They then asked to fly through Syrian airspace to
Iraq. Again, the Syrians refused.

The plane circled over the Mediterranean in eastern Cypriot
airspace looking for a place to land, the air traffic controllers
said. Minutes later, though, Syria decided to grant landing
rights to the plane and notified the Saudi authorities
accordingly.
