Update: 02/13/2005:
Colombia Questions Its Airline Security (AP) after the older hijacker "boarded the plane in a wheelchair that was too large to pass through an airport metal detector, and he was not patted down by security agents."
Colombia Airliner Said Hijacked (AP): "The Aires flight left the southern city of Florencia on Monday morning for a short flight to Bogota, Gen. Edgar Lesmez said. The plane landed in Bogota, Lesmez told RCN radio. Authorities were in contact with the hijackers, believed to number two, Lesmez said. The plane was believed to be carrying 20 passengers and five crew members."
Lesmez is the nation's air force chief.
Several hours after landing in Bogota, Passengers Freed on Hijacked Colombian Jet (AP), however the crew was reported still on the plane, as were the hijackers, a father in a wheelchair and his son who "demanded a meeting with representatives of the Catholic Church, the attorney general's office and a human rights organization, officials said, and government negotiators and a priest spoke with them while the twin-propeller plane stood on the tarmac."
