JORDANIAN HIJACKER SENTENCED TO 160 YEARS IN PRISON FOR DEADLY 1986 HIJACKING
OF PAN AM FLIGHT 73 AS VICTIMS FROM AROUND THE WORLD RECOUNT HORRORS

"The hijacking of Pan Am Flight 73 was one of the most brutal international terrorist attacks to occur in the 1980s. The incident began as passengers were boarding the aircraft for a flight that had originated in Bombay, India, and was scheduled to fly to Frankfurt, Germany, en route to New York. At the sentencing hearing, Assistant United States Attorney Gregg A. Maisel and DOJ Trial Attorney Jennifer E. Levy provided a detailed factual account of the crime, based on Safarini's previous admissions, accompanied by a presentation of related visual images. On the day of the hijacking, Safarini and his fellow hijackers were dressed as Karachi airport security guards and armed with assault rifles, pistols, grenades and plastic explosive belts. At approximately 6:00 a.m. local time, Safarini drove a van that had been modified to look like an airport security vehicle through a security checkpoint at the Karachi airport, without challenge, and drove up to one of the stairways being used to board passengers for Pan Am Flight 73. Safarini and his three fellow hijackers stormed up the stairways onto the plane, fired shots from an automatic weapon and seized control of the aircraft. Some of the flight attendants were able to alert the cockpit crew about the hijacking by intercom, allowing the pilot, co-pilot and flight engineer to escape through a hatch in the cockpit before the hijackers reached the cockpit, thereby effectively grounding the aircraft"

In Context

Twenty-two people died in the attack and over 150 were injured.
Contrary to initial reports, all the hijackers survived. They later admitted to being members of the Palestinian Abu Nidal Organisation.
Five men were convicted in Pakistan for their part in the attack in 1988. They were all sentenced to death, but this was later commuted to life imprisonment.
The Pakistani authorities released the leader of the hijackers, Zaid Hassan Abd Al-Latif Masud Al Safarini in September 2001, but he was quickly recaptured by the US.(See above)
He was tried in an American court and in 2004 was sentenced to a 160-year prison term. The other four men remain in jail in Pakistan

Pakistani authorities freed four Palestinians on Thursday who were convicted in the 1986 hijacking of a Pan Am jet in Karachi that left 22 passengers and crew dead, a prison official said. The men were released after completing their jail terms and deported to the Palestinian territories, said the official on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media. The prison official gave the names of those released Thursday as Mohammed Abdul Khalil Hussain, Daud Mohammed Hafiz, Mohammed Ahmed al-Munawar and Jamal Saeed.
