The 20-year-old Turkish hijacker of a Turkish Airlines plane earlier Saturday surrendered to Greek police and was arrested, and all the 194 passengers and nine crews aboard the plane were released and sent to safe places, a Greek government spokesman said.
So far, all the passengers and crew were unharmed and in good health as the hijacking ended peacefully.
The young hijacker, who claimed he had explosives strapped to his body, seized domestic Flight TK 160 at 22:00 local time shortly after the takeoff from Istanbul to Ankara on Friday.
