GENEVA. KAZINFORM - A hijacker of an Ethiopian Airlines plane en route from Addis Ababa to Rome has been arrested, Geneva police spokesman Jean-Philippe Brandt told Itar-Tass on Monday.
The plane was forced to land in Geneva after being hijacked. Brandt said there was one hijacker, not a group, Itar-Tass reports. The police spokesman did not answer how many people were onboard the hijacked Boeing 767. "The airport has been temporarily closed. The police operation is underway," Brandt said.
