Russia foils plane hijacking in Moscow
None
Russian special forces staged a lightning strike on Thursday to detain a man who had seized an aircraft on a domestic flight to Moscow's Domodedovo airport, a spokeswoman for the airport said.
"During the flight, an attempt was made to hijack the airplane. After its landing at Domodedovo, it was freed thanks to well-coordinated actions by the interior ministry and FSB (domestic security service)," the spokeswoman told Reuters. "This was the fastest operation to free an airplane in Russia's civil aviation history." (Reuters)
