Four added to FBI most wanted list for hijacking

Twenty passengers and crew, including two US citizens, were killed in the ordeal.

The FBI on Thursday updated its "Most Wanted Terrorist List" with the names of four Palestinians suspected of taking part in a 1989 hijacking of a Pan Am airliner that left 20 dead in Pakistan.

The US State Department has offered a five million dollars reward each for information leading to the arrest or conviction of Waoud Mohammed Hafiz Al-Turki, 54, Jamal Sahid Abdoul Rahim, 44, Mohammed Abdullah Khalil Hussain Ar-Rahayyal, 44, and Mohammed Ahmed Al-Munawar, 44.

All four are believed to belong to Abu Nidal, a Marxist group suspected of having carried out attacks in more than 20 countries under the banner of Palestinian liberation.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation wants them for their alleged role in September 5, 1986 hijacking of Pan American World Airways Flight 73 during a stop in Karachi, Pakistan, the bureau said.

Twenty passengers and crew, including two US citizens, were killed in the ordeal.

The four still probably live in a Middle Eastern country, the FBI said in its wanted postings.
