it seemed like a bluff. we know this area of libya where the plane originated from is a security mess. there is a void there. there is no government in libya that's functioning properly. >> how far is this from the actual terminal? >> three miles. the run way in the local airport where the plane originated from is three miles from the terminal. you can imagine the security nightmare there. libya has a history of violent incidents on planes. just in december two planes were shot at while on the runway in tripoli. this was a politically motivated act. pro gadhafi supporters. two want to be more involved in the political process in libya. i think they wanted out. >> are they just trying to send a message? what did they think they would accomplish with this? carrying fake weapons. >> they wanted to get out of libya. it was bizarre as the passengers came off the plane they were shaking hands of the hijackers who never took their cell phones. it doesn't appear the passengers were in danger.
