Two men and a woman armed with grenades hijacked an Ethiopian jetliner on a domestic flight and forced it to land in Djibouti. There they released 50 people and then surrendered after holding four crew members for several hours. The three Ethiopians said they wanted to flee the undemocratic regime in their homeland, and they gave up after receiving assurances that they would be allowed to emigrate. No injuries were reported in the hijacking.
