[edit] Itinerary?

"...On September 28 2001, Zayd Hassan Abd Al-Latif Masud Al Safarini was captured by the FBI in Bangkok after he was released in Pakistan and was on his way back to Jordan...." —He was traveling from Pakistan to Jordan, but was captured in Thailand? Did he have a compass? Clipper471 15:34, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Response from a Pan Am 73 victim - In 1986 Safarini entered Pakistan via Bangkok to carry out the hijacking. In 2001, it appears that "arrangements" were made between the powers that be so that upon his release he would return to Jordon via Bangkok also. The FBI apprehended him in Bangkok, flew him non-stop in one of their planes to Alaska for arraignment, after which he was transferred to DC for further prosecution.

[edit] External Links

I am curious why 24.26.143.239 deleted (15Jul06) the external link to a first-hand account of this hijacking ("What Happened to the Hippy Man?")? Instead you should probably add the other books too, like "Dancing in the Sea"...

[edit] unsourced material.

< ---!A secret message written on cigarette packets and foils is delivered to a Pakistani journalist, Mr Masror Hausen, who covered the trial. The hijackers revealed the true motive behind hijacking was, "to fill up the aircraft with explosives and hit the Israeli defence ministry, using the aircraft as a missile...." The message is reported in a Pakistani daily newspaper "The Muslim."---!> —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Yousaf465 (talk • contribs) 19:32, 12 December 2006 (UTC).
