Passengers Foil Attempted Hijacking

Flight lands safely in Turkey.

Passengers aboard a flight from Oslo to Istanbul overpowered a would-be hijacker Wednesday night, tackling the man to the ground when he attempted to enter the cockpit as the plane was about to land. The man, identified as a Turk named Cuma Yasar, was wearing a ski mask and tried to force his way into the cockpit, saying “I have a bomb.” Passengers then tackled Yasar to the ground, and police said a passenger was sitting on top of Yasar when they entered the plane. He was taken into police custody, and police said the bomb was a fake. There were no reports of injuries.
