Hijacked 737 Jet Lands in New Delhi
The Associated Press

NEW DELHI, India –– A Boeing 737 jetliner was hijacked Wednesday night on a domestic flight from Bombay and landed in New Delhi, a private Indian television station reported.

Star News said all 54 passengers were unharmed but they remained aboard the jet, which was parked at an isolated area at Indira Gandhi International Airport. The plane was surrounded by police and commandos.

There was no word on the number of hijackers.

The TV station reported that authorities opened a communications link with the hijackers.

The jet belonged to the Alliance company, a domestic subsidiary of Indian Airlines.

India has been on alert since the Sept. 11 terror attacks in the United States, in which hijackers seized jetliners and struck the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

I have to believe that the passengers would fight back.

Why believe that? These are people from the land of Mohandas Gandhi who worship cows.
