    • Turks hijack airliner to protest pope’s visit

      Posted by Billbar from MSNBC

      A Turkish Airlines plane carrying 113 people from Albania to Istanbul landed in Italy on Tuesday after being hijacked by two Turks protesting the pope's visit to Turkey next month, officials said. The plane landed in Brindisi, Italy, and the hijackers told authorities they were prepared to surrender, said Candan Karlitekin, chairman of Turkish Airlines' board of directors. "They seem to be not particularly hostile nor armed," he said. "The passengers are not under any threat," Karlitekin said. "There is no loss of life or any injuries."
