A Turkish citizen who hijacked a Turkish Airlines Boeing 737 surrendered to police and released the 113 passengers on board, Brindisi Airport Police Chief Salvatore De Paolis said. Police initially reported there were two hijackers. The plane was hijacked after taking off from Albania’s capital, Tirana, on a flight to Istanbul. The hijacker, Hasan Ekinci, was to be arrested upon his arrival in Turkey for evading the military draft, Muammer Guler, the governor of the province of Istanbul, said on CNN Turk. Ekinci had written to the pope in August asking for his help to avoid service “in a Muslim army,'’ declaring that he was a Christian convert, SKYTG24 in Italy said.
