Narrative:A CSA Tupolev 134 aircraft, en route from Bratislava (BTS) to Prague (PRG) with 12 passengers and five crew, was hijacked. The hijacker, a Czechoslovakian teenager, claimed to have a bomb and demanded one million German marks, two parachutes and free passage to Libya. The aircraft landed in Prague to refuel; the passengers and crew were eventually released while the hijacker remained on the aircraft with a negotiator. Sixteen hours after the incident began, the hijacker surrendered to authorities. No injuries were reported.
