Four Hijackers Held At Tunis
Tunisian officials arrest four Palestinian hijackers who abandoned their threat to blow up a British airliner and its crew in return for asylum. Seven other terrorists flown from Egypt and the Netherlands as ransom left the plane with hostages, later released unharmed. Foreign Minister Chatti said there was no written agreement on asylum, and a trial for the murdered German passenger was not yet decided. The hijackers, seven Palestinians, and three Britons evacuated the plane after Tunis informed them asylum was granted. Explosives experts found no active devices. Egypt and the Netherlands had earlier secured asylum for other detainees. WAFA cited the PLO threat to hold the hijackers accountable. The five freed from Cairo had bombed a Rome jet last December. the two from Holland faced prior prison sentences for destroying a British Airways jet. Freed hostages reported pistols, submachine guns, and grenades among the hijackers.
