| 1981: Hijacked Plane of PIA. This photo shows Salam Ullah Tipu, hanging out from the cockpit of a PIA plane that he had hijacked with three other colleagues in 1981. The plane was going from Karachi to Peshawar. Tipu, a leftist student leader from Karachi, had joined Murtaza Bhutto’s Al-Zulfikar Organisation (AZO) to instigate an urban guerrilla war against the Zia-ul-Haq dictatorship. The plane was hijacked from Karachi, flown to Kabul and then to Damascus (Syria). The hijackers released the passengers after the Zia regime agreed to release 54 political prisoners from jails. In 1984, Tipu was executed by the pro-Soviet regime in Kabul after he’d fallen out with Murtaza Bhutto, while the other hijackers traveled to Libya. |
