Hijackers of a Sudanese airliner surrendered to authorities in Libya after releasing all the passengers on Wednesday, Libya's aviation authority said. The airliner was seized on Tuesday after leaving Sudan's war-battered Darfur region for Khartoum and landed at the remote Sahara desert oasis of Kufrah in southeastern Libya. Libya's Civil Aviation Authority said 95 people had been on the Boeing 737/200. The hijackers first released the passengers and two crew members, but kept six crew members hostage while negotiations continued./Reuters/
