U S warns airports of hijack plot before Egyptair crisis
The FAA warned Athens and other large airports of a planned hijack by Iranian trained operatives, citing 400 trainees and 176 false Algerian passports. Greek authorities boosted security, yet the Egyptair flight was hijacked and later freed by Egyptian commandos at Malta. Autopsies show most victims died from smoke. Malta says grenades caused the fire. Egypt seeks extradition of the surviving hijacker who identified as 20 years old.
