Russian officials say a man briefly hijacked a plane, holding
passengers hostage on the ground at a main Moscow airport
until police disguised as medics detained him.
Domodedovo Airport spokeswoman Yelena Galanova said the plane
had arrived from the southern city of Mineralniye Vody. A man
on board held the crew and 105 passengers hostage on the
tarmac for 2 hours after landing.
Tatyana Trunova, a spokeswoman for transport police, said in
televised comments that the hijacker agreed to allow several
passengers medical attention, and that the plane was freed
when police disguised as doctors seized him.
