On December 24, 1994 in Algeria four men hijacked Air France Flight 8969 bound to depart for Charles de Gaulle airport, Paris. The four hijackers brandished their AK-47, Uzi, automatic weapons and demanded cooperation from the 220 passengers and 12 flight crew. A negotiation team decided to divert the flight to Marseille International Airport, some five hundred miles south of Paris. After some unsuccessful negotiations, the commandos were forced to storm the cockpit and first class section, where the majority of the hijackers were accumulated. The ensuing firefight injured eleven commandos, thirteen passengers and three members of the crew. The hijackers were all shot dead. Sorry, no sound.

  • same thing happened ...

    same thing happened in the vietnam war, impossible to tell the difference between civilians and regular army/marine/navy.
    it is, in formal sayings, collateral damage... i do not believe that it is. but when you wage war on terrorism, there is no, repeat, no saying who is who. that is all for now, pleased to talk to you soon. cheers, Ja

  • so true. i do, ...

    so true. i do, speak of the world today. of the ones u mentioned here, only one is active; ETA. of the known terrorist(?) groups today, 99% is islamic. i ask again, why? the koran never stated/gave support to any of what those ppl are doing.
    i do realise that terrorism is what the reciever is interpreting it to be, but... think again, please.
