Man hijacks German airplane
BONN, West Germany—a Young man pleading for a "human world" hijacked a West German jintern in flight yesterday and held in a day-long standoff at the Bomn airport, insisting that the German leadership and people hear his demands for social change.
The hijacker, reportedly armed with a pistol, freed the 128 passengers and four of the eight crew members who were unarmed after the Lathrina Boeing 727 landed at Borneo-Cologne Airport, but kept four crew members aboard the plane, demanding to talk (to Chancellor Helmut Schmidt) and a television news crew.
The flight had originated in Paris, stopped in Frankfurt and was on its way to Bonn-Colonne when it was hitched.
Ham radio operators who listened in on communications between the cockpit and airport tower said the man read a 20-minute manifesto demanding the West German government hold a referendum on nuclear power, improve child care and abolish all the armed forces.
Nationalists welcomed home
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico—Thousands gathered at San Juan's international airport yesterday to welcome home four Puerto Rican nationalists freed after the storm.
Three had been convicted of shooting up the house of Representatives in 1945; the fourth went to prison in 1950 for killing a guard during an attack on the life of a nurse.
A plane carrying the nationalists, who were granted clemency Monday by President Carter in what he termed a humanitarian gesture, travelled to Puerto Rico from New York City. Their supporters waited in the airport lounge, where a welcome reception was held shortly after their arrival.
Speaking with reporters in New York Tuesday, the four vowed to use violence again if they deemed it necessary to further the cause of independence for their homeland. Puerto Rico's electorate has voted against independence in favor of U.S. commonwealth status.
