Ethiopian Airlines Plane Hijacked
A co-pilot on an Ethiopian Airlines plane was arrested early Monday morning by Swiss police after he hijacked the plane he was flying. The Ethiopian man locked himself in the cockpit while his co-pilot was in the bathroom. Upon the plane's landing and his arrest, he requested asylum in Geneva, Switzerland. Ethiopian Airlines Flight 702 took off from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and, according it the airline was "forced to proceed to" Geneva. The plane was originally set to land in Rome, Italy. No passengers or crew members were injured.
