Turkish Plane Hijack ends Peacefully

All passengers and crew members have been released, as the Turkish plane hijack ended peacefully. The emergency landing of the plane helped the passengers escape through the rear exit. The two hijackers, who had claimed to have a bomb, wanted to take the plane to Tehran. However, the Pilot successfully convinced them that he needed to refuel to do so.

While the hijackers released the women and children through the front door of the aircraft, other passengers fled through the back door. The two hijackers were forced to surrender following some negotiation with the Turkish authorities. One of the hijackers is a Turkish national, but holds a Syrian passport. Other one is of Palestinian origin. Both the hijackers are in police custody and are being questioned now.
