Terrorists Hijack Kenya Airways Flight With 30 Passengers On Board!
A KQ flight carrying 30 passengers heading to the coastal town of Malindi was yesterday hijacked by a group of terrorists before the elite Recce squad intervened.
The morning incident at JKIA sent shockwaves across the country but Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) come out just on time to confirm it was only a drill.
The airports management body says it carried out the drill to test the country’s preparedness in handling terrorism related cases.
The hijacking scenario was of a group of terrorist taking control of a KQ flight with 30 passengers set to leave for Malindi.
The ‘terrorists’ demanded food, refueling facilities and a flight plan to their destination of choice. Recce squad would then neutralize the threat with casualties being evacuated by the Red Cross to various city hospitals.
KAA justified their exercise saying they are required to carry out such drills once every three years to put to task their level of preparedness and security standards.
