The World

April 02, 1987

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak said he will not return two military aircraft flown to Egypt by Libyan defectors last month until Libya hands over three Egyptians he blames for a bloody 1985 hijacking of an EgyptAir jetliner to Malta. "Give me the three Egyptians and take your aircraft," Mubarak was quoted as saying by the state-run Middle East News Agency. Sixty people were killed during a 20-minute battle between Egyptian commandos and the hijackers.
