Garaad Bari Posted February 8, 2008 A woman in New Zealand has been charged with hijacking after she stabbed two pilots and threatened to blow up a small plane unless she was flown to Australia, police said. The 19-seat Jetstream J32 aircraft, operated by Air National for Air New Zealand, was flying from the southern provincial town of Blenheim to Christchurch when the mid-air drama unfolded, prompting the pilots to issue a mayday call. source Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Juje Posted February 8, 2008 Am told that she has history of violence behavior, she has on numerous occasions beat policemen. And at some time she stormed the New Zealand parliament and hit one of the MP's with a chair. This latest incident is a follow up to many before which were not very serious as this one. It is said that her application for family reunion has been turned down several times, and thus did not succeed to bring her thirteen siblings and parents to NZ. Thus the spark of violence reaction.

Coloow Posted February 9, 2008 I have been reading various articles on this issue. It seems that she is not stable. I wonder why the headlines shouldn't have read: " A mentally unstable woman stabbed a pilot" Instead, it is about somali this and somali that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boom Boom Posted February 10, 2008 It says she was born in Sudan. To me she looks Sudanese but lied about coming from Somalia to gain asylum. Too many Africans are notorious for doing this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
