ALGIERS
(AP)
-
Five
hijackers,
who
took
a
Japanese
jetliner
on
a
six-day
journey
of
terror
over
two
continents,
released
their
last
19
hostages
and
surrendered
to
Algerian
authorities
today,
airline
officials
said.
"They
came
out
with
their
hands
up,"
said
a
Japan
Air
Lines
(JAL)
spokesman
in
New
York.
"As
far
as
we
know
the
hostages
are
okay,
but
we
don't
know
for
sure."
The
conditions
for
the
surrender
were
not
immediately
known.
It
was
believed
the
ultra-leftist
terrorists
had
hoped
to
obtain
political
asylum
from
Algeria's
leftist
government.
The
Japanese
foreign
ministry
said
all
the
terrorists
including
six
"comrades"
freed
from
Japanese
jails
to
meet
the
hijackers'
demands
had
left
the
JAL
DC-8
at
4
p.m.
local
time
(noon
EDT),
less
than
two
hours
after
it
landed
here.
There
was
no
immediate
word
on
where
they
were
taken.
The
plane,
which
also
carried
a
$6-mtllion
ransom
paid
the
hijackers,
landed
in
Algiers
after
an
overnight,
two-stop
flight
from
Bangladesh,
where
the
terrorists
held
it
for
five
days
after
hijacking
it
over
India.
An
official
statement
said
landing
permission
was
given
here
"at
the
express
demand
of
the
Japanese
government
and
for
humanitarian
reasons."
One
American
was
among
the
final
group
of
hostages
aboard
the
plane.
The
hijackers,
believed
looking
for
asylum
in
a
sympathetic
country,
had
commandeered
the
DC-8
over
India
last
Wednesday
and
forced
it
to
land

OTTAWA

The
