An Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 757 aircraft was hijacked while en route from Jeddah to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, approaching Djibouti for a scheduled stop. The hijacker, an Ethiopian man, used a toy revolver to storm the cockpit and demand a diversion to London. Djibouti authorities refused to allow the flight to land, and it was diverted to Sanaa, Yemen, where it circled for two hours before landing rights were authorized. The hijacker released the passengers, but he held the pilot and co-pilot hostage for three hours before surrendering to Yemeni authorities.An Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 757 aircraft was hijacked while en route from Jeddah to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, approaching Djibouti for a scheduled stop.
