Mercenaries Seize Airliner in Lisbon Hijacking
Three mercenaries of the Spanish Foreign Legion released six hostages aboard an Iberia Airlines plane in Lisbon and departed toward Geneva. The hijackers, Noel Seijen Jean Lyschin and Sergio Munoz Cadaval, seek asylum in France while denying terrorism. A Bern official said landing is possible if requested, and air pirates would face Swiss arrest. A separate incident in Japan triggered a hijack alert aboard a Pakistani aircraft by accident.
