Four Eritreans among a group being forcibly returned home from Libya hijacked their aircraft and forced it to land in Khartoum. At first the hijackers refused to surrender and forced the pilot to takeoff again. When being told that they were denied permission to land anywhere in Sudan and with a fuel reserve of one hour, the hijackers gave in. The C-130 Hercules was allowed to land again at Karthoum where the hijackers surrendered.
