“The first people have been allowed off a hijacked Libyan jet during a stand-off at Malta International Airport. Malta’s Prime Minister has said only some of the crew remain on board the domestic Afriqiyah Airways flight but it remains unclear how many hijackers there are. At least one man claiming to have a hand grenade threatened to blow up the plane, according to local reports.”
