Sudan Plane Hijackers Surrender To Libya Officials TRIPOLI (AFP)-- The hijackers of a Sudanese airliner surrendered to Libyan authorities Wednesday, several hours after all passengers on board were freed, a Libyan official told AFP. The plane had been forced to land in a remote oasis in the Libyan desert Tuesday after the two attackers, said to be Darfur rebels, hijacked the plane shortly after take-off from Darfur's main city of Nyala on a flight to Khartoum.
