On October 14, 2000, just two days after the attack on the U.S.S. Cole, two Saudis hijacked a Boeing 777 from Saudi Arabia and had it flown to Baghdad, IRAQ. The hijackers were given “asylum” in IRAQ. They were extensively interviewed in the Iraqi press and criticized the Saudi government.

They hijacked the plane in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The timing was always suspicious... an overnight drive or boat trip from Aden, Yemen (site of the Cole bombing) also on the coast. Had they hijacked from Yemen it would have been too obvious.
