Hijacked 118 passenger Libyan plane lands in Malta
A Libyan aircraft, which was hijacked on Friday by a man claiming to be a “pro-Gaddafi” supporter and reportedly armed with grenade, has landed in Malta, with 118 people on board.

Local Media in Malta said the hijacker told crew he was willing to let all 111 passengers leave the Airbus A320, without seven crew members, if his demands were met.

According to the media reports, it was unclear what the demands were or whether the hijacker was acting alone.

It was gathered that the aircraft had been flying from Sebha in southwest Libya to Tripoli for state-owned Afriqiyah Airways, a route that would usually take a little over two hours.
