Pakistani sources said Pakis tan also agreed to pay $50,000 ransom, and a Pakistani official announced the hijackers would seek asylum in Libya. "The crisis point has passed,” said a U.S. diplomat. “It is over,” the Pakistani am bassador to Syria, Safraz Khan, told reporters at the airport. “There is no longer any dead line. It is a matter of time now and I don’t anticipate any dif ficulties at all in the process." The hijackers had labeled the Americans “CIA agents” and said they would shoot them and then blow up the plane with all aboard unless Pakistan’s mili tary regime bowed by 11 a m. EST Thursday to their demand to free 55 political prisoners. Pakistan’s ambassador to Damascus said his nation had agreed The hijackers had already shot and killed one hostage, a Pakistani diplomat, last Friday when the plane was in Kabul, Afghanistan. The hijacking began over Pakistan March 2, and has since become the second longest in history. The longest, lasting 39 days, was in 1968 when Palestinian terrorists held 12 Israelis aboard an Israeli plane in Algiers. For the first time since the Pakistan International Airlines Boeing 720 arrived here, the three hijackers allowed its cabin lights to be turned on Thursday night. Seeing this, about 50 Syrian soldiers in foxholes around the plane were heard to cheer. CLASSIFIEDS BUFFALO BOB PENNA BUMS A RIDE BACK EAST!
