00:03An Italian cruise ship called Achille Lavoro docks at the port of Alexandria, Egypt
00:08This was the fifth day of the journey of this cruise ship which started its journey from the Italian city of Genova
00:16There were a total of 748 passengers and 450 cruise members on board.
00:21At Alexandria Port, 651 passengers had disembarked from the ship and boarded buses
00:27These people were going to Cairo for the Peremites side horn
00:30After their departure, the ship captain exited from Alexandria Port
00:35And the cruise ship with the remaining 97 passengers was directed 225 kilometres west towards the port side of Egypt.
00:44Here after 14 hours the tourists going to Cairo will join the crew down ship again
00:49Whatever happened till here was pre-planned but after this things started going wrong
00:56After 14 hours, the tourists going to Cairo reached Port of Said at exactly 10:30 pm
01:03In the hope that he will join his comrades again
01:07But there was no trace of Achille Lavoro
01:11Initially they were told that the cruise ship was delayed because of traffic near Switzerland
01:17But when the cruise ship did not arrive even after waiting for three hours, they were told the truth
01:25Malun read what Akili Lavoro has been hijacked
01:29Once again Khusham Didi in Jam TV's videos
01:32Nazarene: Four hijackers were among the 97 surviving passengers
01:37They probably smuggled their weapons into a fuel tank
01:42Due to which there was a lot of smell in their room.
01:45Immediately after leaving Alexandria Port
01:48He was sitting in his room and drying his weapons with the help of a hair dryer.
01:53Just then a waiter came into their room to surf the door which was accidentally left open.
02:00Maybe they didn't have to hijack the ship near Alexandria Port
02:04But since the secret was out now, he immediately went to the ship's dining hall
02:09And by terrorizing the passengers they started taking them hostage
02:14Till now no one knew who these hijackers were and what was their motive
02:21A hostess asked them who he was and one of them replied that he was a Norwegian national.
02:27Before the hijackers could reach the ship's radio room, the operator there broadcast an S.O.S. call.
02:35In which it was told that Akili Lavro ship has been hijacked
02:38This S.O.S. call was received by a radio station in Sweden
02:43The hijackers were not aware of this S.O.S. message
02:47And they took over the radio room and shut down the ship's entire communication system.
02:53One of the hijackers asked the ship captain over loudspeakers to come to the front bridge
02:58When Captain Girardo DeRosa arrived he was greeted with a few machine gun shots
03:04The hijackers shouted something in Arabic language
03:08And then in broken English he asked us to go to the Syrian port of Tartarus, 500 kilometers away
03:14This was the point when the ship's captain realised that these people could not be Norwegian nationals.
03:20He also asked the ship's captain to tell the 450 crew members to continue performing their duties formally but to not be seen near any of the hostages.
03:31Under gunfire, the captain had no other option but to obey the orders of the hijackers
03:38Only Lavro was now headed towards Syria instead of Port Said in Egypt.
03:43The frightened hostages and the ship's crew had no idea what was going to happen to them
03:49The sun was about to set on the 7th and the hijackers asked all the hostages to sleep on the floor.
03:57On the other hand, the SO messages received by the Swedish radio station had already created a stir in the entire world.
04:04The Italian crisis management team was activated because it was their cruise ship
04:10But the US did not take this case so seriously at first
04:14But when they came to know that there were American nationals in the cruise ship, the US Crisis Management also came into action
04:21In their view, this was a terrorist attack and the US had no policy of negotiations with terrorists.
04:29But the issue was that till now three different countries had been affected by this hijacking
04:35The passengers were from the US, the ship was from Italy and the accident happened in Egyptian territory
04:41So now the debate was on which country should take action
04:45The US thought that the ship belonged to Italy, so Italy should take action before this happened
04:51But the Italian government wanted to solve this hijacking through negotiation rather than by force
04:58Because Italy did not want to do anything that would tarnish its reputation in the Mediterranean countries.
05:05But the US wanted to deal with these hijackers politely
05:09Then the US ordered all countries on the Mediterranean coast not to allow Achille Lavrov to come to their docks
05:19The next day, i.e. on 8 October, Akili Lavro had reached near Syria.
05:24The captain asked for permission to come on Tartar escort but since the US had already alerted everyone, the Syrian authorities did not respond
05:33After this the hijackers started separating the hostages according to their nationality
05:39It seemed like they were looking for Americans and Jews
05:43They separated a total of 20 passengers, including an old-age couple.
05:48Marilyn Kling-Hofer and her 69-year-old husband Leon Kling-Hofer sitting on a wheel chair
05:55The hijackers asked these 20 people to shift to the upper deck
06:00But Leon Klinghofer could not go beyond the limits of his conditions
06:04His wife shouted at him for fucking alone
06:08But the hijackers silenced them at gunpoint.
06:12Leon Klinghofer was extremely angry at this and kept abusing the hijackers.
06:19For a long time, Lavrov alone was not allowed to enter Syria
06:24Then the hijackers finally placed their demands before the Syrian authorities via radio
06:30One of the four, who appeared to be their leader, told on the radio that he belonged to PLF i.e. Palestine Liberation Front.
06:39And they want Israel to release 50 of their companions
06:43Everything was now out in the open
06:46Those who claimed to be Norwegians were actually Palestinians
06:50The name of this hijacker was Yusuf Majeed Maul
06:53And he finally said that if his demands were not met by three o'clock
06:58So they will start killing the juices present in the ship one by one
07:03Now the case had become more complicated
07:07In which three more characters also got directly affected
07:10Syria, Israel and Palestine
07:13The deadline given by the hijackers is getting closer
07:16But neither of their demands were met
07:18Nor could any negotiation team reach the ship
07:22At three o'clock he sent a message to Tatar Sport
07:25In which he said that he had killed an American passenger
07:29and now it's the other one's turn
07:31But the Tartarus officials did not pay any attention to his words.
07:35and told them to go away from here
07:37When the hijackers realized that their plans would not work here
07:41So he asked the captain to go to Cyprus
07:43During this time, this initiative had been taken in the US intelligence network.
07:47that an American passenger had been killed
07:50But there was no confirmation of this on the other side.
07:54Because now the hijackers had been identified
07:57So Italy directly contacted Palestinian President Yasser Arafat
08:02Who was also the chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization
08:06And asked him if there was any involvement in this hijacking of P Lo
08:11Yasser Arafat not only disowned this hijacking
08:15In fact, a negotiation team was also sent to Egypt to resolve this issue.
08:20This team also included Abu Abass who was the leader of KP Alef
08:24Abu Abass contacted the hijackers via a radio station in Cyprus
08:29And he was told to immediately go to Port Said in Egypt
08:33And behave well with all passengers
08:37Maulvi, the leader of the hijackers, obeyed Abu Abu Abbas's advice and
08:42The captain was asked to go to Port Said in Egypt.
08:45On reaching Egypt, Abu Abbas also apologized to the captain
08:49And also had some private conversation with the hijackers
08:53Actually Italy and Egypt wanted to end this matter without any interference.
08:59Because this matter was between Palestine and Israel and who would want to dirty their home in someone else's fight
09:05But the US wanted that these are terrorists and no kind of Nicosation should be done with them
09:12The complete nicotination of US protests had begun
09:16Italy and Egypt wanted the Hadjikars to be handed over to P Yellow
09:21And then he himself will punish them for ship hijacking
09:26The next day, i.e. on 9 October, Captain Dhiroja publicly sent a radio message
09:31Assured everyone that all passengers and crew on the ship are absolutely safe
09:37After this message, Italy and Egypt decided to give safe passage to the hijackers
09:43A tank boat was brought to Akili Lavro, carrying the four hijackers, and they disappeared into the mainland of Egypt.
09:50Everyone thought that the nicotination was successful and the hijackers had withdrawn their demand
09:58But in reality the hijackers made Captain DeRosa broadcast this message at gunpoint.
10:04Yes, when Syrian officials were not giving permission to the ship, they actually killed a passenger
10:11And that passenger was Liane Klinghofer, sitting on the wheel chair
10:16The hijackers threw Kaling Hofer's body into the sea
10:20This news, received after many hours, created a stir
10:25The hijackers were let free
10:27He had actually made a big mistake and disappeared from the soil of Egypt
10:32Now all the guns were directed towards Egypt
10:35Italy asked Egypt to hand over the hijackers to them
10:39But Egypt was also running away from this matter
10:42Egyptian President Hosni Mabarak said the hijackers had left Egypt.
10:46And they don't know where he is now
10:48But actually US Intelligence had received information that Egypt was sending Midi on a plane to Tunisia.
10:55where the Pillow Representative will take him into custody
10:59A civilian aircraft was scheduled to take off from Egypt's Almaza Air Base at 6 pm on October 10.
11:06In which all four hijackers were being sent to Tunisia
11:11But neither the hijackers nor Italy nor Egypt knew
11:15that US crisis management is going to intercept this plane mid-air
11:20Four F-14 fighters, two A-6D air tankers and two A-2C radar planes
11:28Started patrolling over the Mediterranean
11:31As soon as the hijackers' plane took off
11:34US Air Force fighter jets were alerted and started chasing him
11:39After being in the air for about an hour and a half
11:41Fourteener graphs ran the ship aground
11:44and asked the pilot to land at NATO's air base Siguniella in Italy
11:49The pilot tried to contact the aggressor base
11:53But the E-2C radar planes had already jammed its radio signals
11:58Lahada pilot could not establish any contact with the ejection base
12:02The pilot had no other choice and he turned the ship towards Sicily
12:08At 12:10 a.m. on 11 October, the ship landed at Signala Air Base in Sicily.
12:14Nobody knew about this operation.
12:17Italy itself learned about this operation when the plane was about to land at Signeuela air base.
12:24Now since this plane had landed in Italy, the ship was hijacked in Italy and the murder also took place on an Italian ship.
12:32For this reason, Italy had the first right to take their custody, but the US wanted to take their custody itself.
12:40The landing craft was taken over by 80 US commandos, and the 80 commandos were taken over by 300 Italian commandos.
12:48Meetings between Italian and US diplomacy continued for several hours and finally Subha received a call from Washington ordering the American soldiers to withdraw.
13:00The agreement between Italy and America was made on the condition that Italy would punish these hijackers
13:07Italian troops found another important figure on the plane along with the four hijackers
13:13And he was the leader of the Pilgrimage and Abu Abbas sent by Yasser Arafat
13:18This is believed due to the presence of Abu Abbas in the ship.
13:22that he was the one who had planned the whole hijacking
13:25But there is no confirmation as to whether Yasser Arafat knew this or not.
13:30Italy released Abu Abbas due to lack of evidence linking him to the hijacking
13:36Whereas all four hijackers were prosecuted and punished
13:40The hijackers who murdered Killing Hofer
13:43He was Almulki who was sentenced to thirty years
13:47While the other three hijackers were sentenced to 15 to 25 years in prison.
13:51Later it was found out that they did not want to hijack the ship at all
13:55Rather, they wanted to attack Israel's Port Ashdod using this Kuruz ship.
14:01And this step was taken due to the recent bombing of Israel
14:05Lian Kaling Hofer's body was recovered five days later on October 13 off the coast of Syria
14:11Who was sent back to his home country after the autopsy
14:15I hope you will like and share this video of Jam TV a lot.
14:19Thank you very much for your loving comments. See you in the next wonderful video.
