"Busic told the cops that they placed a bomb in a locker. He had no bombs with him. Therefore, there was no intent to kill."

Damn it, Dio. The SOB killed a NY policeman on American soil when the guy had nothing to do with Croatian politics.

Don't give me the "no intent to kill" BS, Busic planted a live bomb in a locker that killed a NY policeman and maimed another when it went off.

Busic had phony bomb on him which he told the passengers and pilot were real -- they had no way of knowing the difference until he and his girlfriend were captured and disarmed.

The only thing that the phony bombs proved is that he didn't intend to kill HIMSELF in the process of hijacking the plane. That doesn't make him innocent -- it just showed him to be a coward. No brownie points for that!

If he intended to kill, he wouldn't have carried phony bombs nor would he have told the police where the real bomb was planted.

Even the judge said this during sentencing.

They carried leaflets aboard the plane that they planned to drop.

The man committed a terrorist act, did his time, and now is home. The death of the police officer is a great tragedy, but was unintentional.
