You sure are a jerk... Another warm-up: Friday, 16 March, 2001, 14:43 GMT 15:43 UK Bloody end to Chechen hijack Security forces in Saudi Arabia have stormed a hijacked Russian plane at Medina airport, freeing more than 100 passengers and crew. Three people - believed to be one of the hijackers, a Russian air stewardess and a Turkish passenger - were killed. The officials said the other hijackers, who had identified themselves as Chechens, were arrested. They are reported to have been armed with knives and possibly a bomb. [...] During the hijack, the plane plunged 400 metres (1,300 feet) as a fight broke out at the door of the cockpit involving the hijackers. The aircraft was eventually stabilised, but one man, a steward, was seriously injured in the struggle.
