Hijackers. fire. warning. shots

‘ Four hijackers hojding rT hostages aboard an: Air France:

jetliner today asked to leave Tehran “for an unknown

destination," then began clearing runway ‘obstacles while’

‘holding one, of . their. captives ‘at gunpoint, ‘the offfelal
Tranian news agency IRNA reported.

The hijackers led a hostage out of the plane with his’ arms:

” raised and fired apparent warning shots before three of. the -
: gunmen started to clear the plane’s path, IRNA said,

The fourth hijacker kept bis gun trained on the hostage in’
view of authorities, IRNA said.

“At present an atmosphere of-fear and anxiety pervades
the area where the hijacked French airliner is parked," "the

news agency said.

The hijackers had ardered ihe pilot to start the engines i in.

- preparation for takeoff, IRNA said,

But the agency also quoted an Iranian ofticial a: 3S. saying *

"the hijackers might havea plan “tor blocking the runway of
~~ the airport or blowing up the plane,” and officials would try

to prevent it from moving before it received permission. -

- The new demand by the four. Arabic-speaking gunmen
came alter'the expiration af their latest deadline and the
receipt of a French government reply ‘to. their list ‘of

_ demands, IRNA said.

The French reply was delivered to the hijackers ‘shortly
before the deadline of 9.a.m. local time, at which time they
had threatened to kill the pilot and six other crew members’

aboard the Boeing 727.

IRNA said Iranian officials resumed negotiations with.

- the hijackers after the delivery of the French reply and that .

’ these talks continued after the deadline expired.

.' “[ranlan officials asked the hijackers te surrender to the.
-authorilies and urged them to keep calm,” IRNA repor-~

ted.“The hijackers insisted on leaving Tehran and asked

--the Iranian authorities- to provide them with facilities for

their flight to ari unknown destination.”’.
