'German police foil attempted hijack' 11.17PM, Tue Jun 29 2004
German special forces are reported to have stormed a plane in Munich after three men attempted to hijack an Istanbul-bound flight.
The pilot was reportedly able to return the plane, which was carrying 150 passengers, to Munich airport.
A German television station said the pilot hit an alarm button after the plane, run by the company Free Bird, had been in the air for ten minutes.
It said none of the passengers were hurt when special forces overpowered the three kidnappers.
One of the would-be hijackers is said to have jumped from the plane onto the tarmac.

I just read another
article about an explosion on a plane in Istanbul. I reckon that's related to this, and would like to know more

Probably a good time to go on full alert - there may be other attempts happening simulataneously.
There was a Korean Air Lines 747 turned back to Sydney this morning because it failed to comply with Australian (read: effectively the same as American) security procedures...
Worldwide conspiracy? (In the Australian case, we got him before the flight boarded, it's just that the plane took off with his luggage still aboard...)
