Colombian hijack ends peacefully
12 September 2005, 22:46 GMT

Two men believed to be a father and son have surrendered at an airfield near Colombia's capital, Bogota, after hijacking a plane on a domestic flight.

The men left the plane after talks with a priest and presidential official during which they gradually freed the 23 passengers and crew unharmed.

They are said to have boarded the propeller-driven plane with grenades.

The father is confined to a wheelchair and the hijack may have been related to a failed demand for compensation.
