Kuwait hijacking talks deadlocked
Twelve heavily armed gunmen masquerading as Syrian soldiers hijacked a Beirut to Baghdad passenger jet and forced it to land in Kuwait with dozens of hostages. The attackers demanded the release of jailed colleagues and refused to allow disembarkation for fuel, as negotiations with Arab diplomats stalled. The flight carried 45 passengers including Kuwait’s ambassador to Lebanon and the oil and financial adviser to the Kuwaiti government. The hijackers, a mix of Lebanese and Palestinians, claimed dynamite aboard and wore Syrian uniforms upon boarding.

Deborah Richardson, praised for opening the cellblock door, is noted as saving inmates.
