Knife-wielding hijacker takes Alitalia jet to Catania
A Soviet emigrant armed with a knife hijacked an Alitalia Boeing 727 en route from Algiers to Rome with 109 aboard. After landing at Catania Fontanarossa Airport, police say he released most passengers and five of eight crew members. Igor Shkuro, 37, a Lenin grad native living in Rome, was identified as the Sky pirate. Authorities say he carried multiple passports including an Australian one and had sought Algiers residence but was refused a visa. The flight blocked at the Sicily airport for 34 hours ended with no injuries.
