Don't see the article.
MSNBC's breaking news are always title only, it takes sometime for them to write the article.

I've heard that airline security in the Balkans is pretty bad. That it happened on a flight from Albania isn't at all surprising.

A Turkish airliner flying from Tirana to Istanbul has been hijacked and flown to Brindisi in southern Italy in an apparent protest against the Pope.
I bet we all know the background of the people involved.

"The passengers are not under any threat," he was quoted as saying by The Associated Press.

"They will surrender, they declared that they will surrender the moment they hijacked the plane."
Very nice of them not to hurt anyone, but rather stupid to protest in this manner. Now they'll go to prison (hopefully) for a long time over a situation that has been blown way out of proportion.

The story wasn't a story until I read this (http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,20525412-663,00.html) in Australia's Herald Sun. It appears that the hijacker was not Muslim, like everybody assumed. I find that funnny.
