The two hijackers who kidnapped a Sudanese plane with 95 passengers on board have surrendered.
Libya's aviation authority said the hijackers have been taken to one of the halls at Kurfrah airport in Libya after they had given themselves up. The hijackers earlier released all passengers aboard the plane but had kept six crew members hostage. The Sunair 737 was seized on Tuesday after leaving Sudan's war-battered Darfur region for Khartoum. The hijackers had earlier demanded to be flown to France but the plane was forced to land in Libya after running short on fuel.
