Two Burmese students hijacked a Fokker F-28. The hijackers threatened to blow up the aircraft if the Burmese government did not agree to several political demands. The aircraft landed at Utapao Naval Air Station, Bangkok, Thailand and the hijacker surrendered to police.
Authorities found two explosive devices in a detergent box on the aircraft.
