short by Parichit Mainra / on Sunday, 25 December, 2016
All passengers from the hijacked Libyan flight that was diverted to Malta have left the Mediterranean island on Saturday to return to Libya. Two hijackers, who surrendered later, had threatened to blow up the plane. The hijackers had demanded asylum in Europe and wanted to form a new political party in honour of the late Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi.
