U S agrees to not seek death penalty in hijack case
The Justice Department will not seek the death penalty against Mohammad Ali Hamadei in connection with the 1985 TWA Flight 847 hijacking. West German officials indicated extradition would be blocked if the suspect faced possible execution, prompting the U.S. to waive the death penalty request. Hamadei, 22, is among four Lebanese Shiite Muslims charged with air piracy and related crimes in the hijacking that killed Navy SEAL Robert Stethem. The plane departed Athens June 14, 1985, and was held over Beirut for hostage duration. The criminal indictment against Hamadei was unsealed by a federal judge.
