	Aircraft hijacking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rather, most aircraft hijackings are committed to use the passengers as hostages in an effort to either obtain transport to a given location, or, as in the case of the American planes that were hijacked to Cuba during the 1970s, the release of comrades being held in prison.
		Hijackings for hostages have usually followed a pattern of negotiations between the hijackers and the authorities, followed by some form of settlement -- not always the meeting of the hijackers' original demands -- or the storming of the aircraft by armed police or special forces to rescue the hostages.
		Most were Palestinians using hijacks as a political weapon to publicise their cause and to force the Israeli government to release Palestinian prisoners from jail.

	Hijacking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hijacking or highjacking is the forcible robbery from, or seizure of, a vehicle in transit.
		Contemporarily the term is primarily associated with high-profile aircraft hijacking for political purposes including terrorism, although other cases have included the cruise ship Achille Lauro in 1985 which could also be considered piracy.
		In IT, the term "hijacking" is also used when spyware or a virus writes itself in a computer program in such a way that whenever that program starts to work, besides its normal duties it does other things too, which the creator of the virus or spyware meant it to.

		The FBI has confirmed that the hijackers' names released in late September are the true identities of all 19 men, said a law enforcement source, speaking on condition of anonymity.
		But questions remained about whether they were the hijackers' true identities, partly because some of their names are common in the Arab world and some of the hijackers fraudulently obtained state identification cards before the hijackings.
		Subsequently at least seven or eight of the WTC Hijackers have been found alive to be alive, including at least 2 of the alleged Flight77 hijackers.

		Officials said the hijackers appeared to have relied most heavily upon SunTrust Banks for the movement of funds through accounts opened in Florida.
		An FBI official confirmed that one of the first signs of a large transfer of funds dates to 2000, when $110,000 was deposited in an account traced to Mohammed Atta, the alleged ringleader of the attacks, and Marwan al-Shehhi, another of the alleged hijackers.
		While investigators have traced more than $325,000 in funds so far, they said they believe the hijackers had access to at least $500,000 before the attacks were carried out.

	Alhazmi and Almihdhar: The 9/11 Hijackers Who Should Have Been Caught
		While it is true that the two Saudis were of a similar age and the same nationality as most of the other 9/11 conspirators (Alhazmi was 25 and Almihdhar was 26 [Newsweek, 6/2/02]), they had much more worldly and militant backgrounds than the others, despite their young ages.
		One resident said he was certain that the hijackers Ahmed Alhaznawi and Marwan Alshehhi were seen with a man living in apartment 136, which was rented at the time to a man named Al Abdula until August 2000 (who he may have shared the apartment with is unknown).
		Either his name was stolen for a hijacker alias, he allowed his name to be used so that US officials would think he died, or he died in the crash.

	A year later, the 19 hijackers are still a tangle of mystery
		While they are assumed to have been driven by hatred for America, there is scant concrete, publicly known evidence of their mind-set, the means by which they were recruited and the point at which they were told about the mission.
		Although 15 of the hijackers were from Saudi Arabia, federal prosecutors have alleged in court documents that it was Mohamed Atta of Egypt, Ziad Jarrah of Lebanon and Marwan Al-Shehhi of the United Arab Emirates who "formed and maintained an al-Qaida terrorist cell in Germany" in the late 1990s.
		Nothing has publicly tied the hijackers to the anthrax attacks although they were in close proximity to the American Media Inc. office, site of the nation's first fatal anthrax infection in October.

	9 hijackers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Six of the nine hijackers had been picked out for scrutiny because they met criteria set by the Federal Aviation Administration calling for their checked-in luggage to be examined by explosive-detecting devices or searched by hand.
		But because their baggage passed inspection and the document irregularities were not glaring — and because airport-security workers did not know that 2 of the 19 were already being hunted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation as suspected terrorists — the deadly plot was carried out to near-perfection.
		The hijackers did not use firearms, which would probably have been detected, but apparently wielded box- cutter knives of the type that were then allowed on board but are now banned.
