Hijacked Libyan Airliner Bound for Tripoli Lands in Malta
---------------------------------------------------------

In the Mediterranean, a hijacked Libyan airliner with more than 110
people on board landed today in the island nation of Malta. State
television reported the plane remains on the tarmac at Malta's
international airport and that two hijackers were threatening to blow up
the plane with hand grenades. The flight took off from the Libyan city
of Sabha, bound for Tripoli. It's not known if the hijackers have
specific demands.
