At the end of the hostage-taking, three Palestinians were arrested and were now to be released by the hijackers of the passenger plane.
The scheduled flight Ankara - Frankfurt will be rerouted via Munich - Zagreb. In the middle of the night on the tarmac at the airport in Zagreb , the kidnappers wait with the captured “Kiel” and the hostages for their “brothers” who have been released in Germany. There are explosives hidden all over the machine. While the Yugoslav and German authorities are still arguing about who should refuel the Lufthansa aircraft, the hostage-takers are threatening to blow up the plane.
