Cuba Frees Hijack Victims Plane Held
About 2000 passeng ers greeted the returning group as they were hustled into immigration by authorities and FBI agents. Captain William E. Buchanan described the gunpoint hijack to Havana and noted he feared a shootdown before persuading the gunman to let co pilot John Yandell radio Key West for Havana frequencies. Passengers recalled being unaware of the abduction until landing. UPI reported pro Castro agents may have formed five hijack teams to force U S airliners to Havana amid Cuba's 26th of July celebrations, possibly in retaliation for Florida plane seizures. The FAA acknowledged a potential threat and authorities were alerted. Senate Republicans urged readiness to pressure Castro to return the plane. Buchanan recounted questioning by military officials seeking a landing at Havana.
