The Hijack to Kabul

In 1981, a terrorist organization, led by Murtaza Bhutto, named Al-Zulfikar hijacked a Pakistan International Airlines airplane and threatened to murder a hostage a day if Zia-ul-Haq did not accept their demands, which most importantly consisted of the release of political prisoners. Zia refused, and Al-Zulfikar shot dead Captain Tariq Rahim, a man they mistakenly believed to be the son of General Rahimuddin, who was in fact a former Aide de Camp to the deposed Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and dumped his body on the tarmac. The situation was controlled later on when Zia gave into the hijackers' demands and relesed the political prisoners, famously commenting on the situation, "We have thrown the bad eggs out and save innocent lives". 1981 (MCMLXXXI) was a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ... ...
