"Free Bird?" Sounds like a charter, perhaps?

Regardless, pretty scary.

I hope the German police shot and killed the hijackers, but that wouldn't be PC. They'll probably be released after a few years in prison.

Probably a good time to go on full alert - there may be other attempts happening simulataneously.

One of the would-be hijackers is said to have jumped from the plane onto the tarmac.

OUch! He might be cut or bruised. The Germans will now award this "militant" theie 'purpurrotes Herz' (purple heart).

Why Turkey? NATO conference? hmmmm. I'll bet the three were Smith, Jones and Johnson, too.

I'm surprised the passengers didn't beat them to death and throw their bodies out of the plane over the Med.

"when special forces overpowered the three kidnappers"

It's a good thing there were special forces on board.

This should but probably won't open the eyes of those nations who don't support the Iraq war. Just because they abstain from getting involved does not mean that they are free from terrorists.

Let's hope this was just one hijacking attempt, and not part of a wider wave.

Man arrested after plane bomb scare
From correspondents in Munich
June 30, 2004
A TURKISH airliner has made an emergency landing in Munich after a passenger made a bomb threat, police said.

The Freebird Airlines Airbus with 150 passengers and seven crew on board had just started its flight from Munich to Istanbul when it reported "security problems," police spokesman Armin Ganserer said.

It returned to Munich airport, where a man was removed and arrested, he said.

"Apparently it was a bomb threat," Mr Ganserer said.

Mr Ganserer did not have any details about the man's nationality or age, and motives were unclear.









No injuries were reported
