AMMAN – Armed groups hijacked a Royal Jordanian airlines airplane in the Libyan capital Tripoli on Monday. The airplane, scheduled to take off for Amman, was hijacked in Tripoli International Airport, sources said. No announcement has so far been made by Libyan or Jordanian authorities. It also remains unknown whether or not there were any people onboard. On Sunday night, Tripoli International Airport was besieged by armed groups and all flights were transferred to Mitiga International Airport. A spokesman for the Libyan Transportation Ministry told Anadolu Agency: Flights will return to normal course within just a few hours. No plane of Jordanian Airways is currently on the runway.
[ed notes:no official statement by  jordanian govt makes me suspect these were weapons shipments wich were probably destined for Jordan then Syria(i could be wrong),and someone tipped media off,and due to possible embarassment,Libyan and jordanian officials masked it as some kind of hijacking,well see soon enough..ill await more developements on this..ill dig deeper afte ri update blog,running late and short on time ..
