((Hostages inside the Afghan passenger airliner sit and wait as their
nightmare drags into day three and British authorities continue
negotiations with the hijackers.
Asst. Chief Constable John Broughton, Essex Police: The only requests that have been made are for food, fresh water, medical
supplies and arrangements to improve sanitary conditions on board.
But, obviously, the hijackers want more than improved living conditions
inside the Boeing 727. There are reports that they are demanding freedom
for a jailed warlord, held by the Afghanistan's ruling Taliban government.
The Ariana Airlines jet was seized shortly after takeoff Sunday on a domestic flight from the Afghan capital, Kabul. The highjackers
directed the plane to make a series of stops in Central Asia and Russia,
where 22 people were leased. Then the plane flew on to Stansted Airport, outside London. There, eight more people, including two
infants were let down a ramp at the rear of the plane.
Boughton: As long as we can continue to talk and get information from the peole
on board the plane then I think that's a positive step.
Stansted Airport has been designated to deal with hijackings in the past. A plane can be diverted there to a runway far enough away from
the terminals and other aircraft to ensure the safety of passengers on scheduled flights. But once on the ground, British policy does not
allow hijacked planes to take off again. While hoping for a positive
resolution, authorities insist that the jet will go no further.
