A Tunisian immigrant hijacked an Alitalia DC-9 aircraft with 130 passengers and seven crew
members en route from Rome to Tunis. The hijacker, armed with a pistol and claiming to have a
bomb in a bag, seized a flight attendant as hostage and demanded to land in Algiers . The crew refused ,
however, and instead landed in Tunis where the hijacker was apprehended by antiterrorist commandos .
No explosive device was found and there were no injuries.
