A Swiss
court has ordered the co-pilot of a hijacked Ethiopian Airlines plane held in
custody pending further investigation and appointed him a defence counsel. The man, who has
previously been identified as 31-year-old Ethiopian Hailemedhin Abera, is accused
of hijacking the Rome-bound plane and forcing it to land in Geneva on Monday. None
of the 200 passengers and crew members were injured in the incident. Swiss federal prosecutors
said in a statement Thursday that investigators are trying to get "a
complete picture of the events during the plane hijacking" but didn't
provide further details. Prosecutors also said
the plane was released to Ethiopian Airlines on Wednesday. Source ( CTV News)
