And whatever we say or criticise or point out is not going to make much of a difference. Read this very depressing article just published by Nature on ‘Neural correlates of maintaining one’s political beliefs in the face of counter-evidence’:

Well, they voted for Joseph Muscat, so it follows that they’re not particularly intelligent and no further explanation is required for their reasoning on these other two matters.

I think saying it was staged is a bit far-fetched. Maybe it was quite simply a botched and ill-thought out hijacking, which the government tried to exploit to make them and the instant brigadier look good.

In reply to J Sammut.

At one point we were told that there was a Libyan Minister among the passengers. Was he sent back on the return flight to Libya? What was the precise number of passengers, 108 or 111? Did someone make a headcount of the passengers on arrival and departure?

In other words, was someone important sneaked into Malta or sent back to Libya on that airplane?

Can someone ask Malta International Airport for the number of persons who boarded the plane on the return flight to Tripoli?

In reply to Malcolm Alden. Yes - it was acquired by Ivan Grech Mintoff (who uploaded it on YouTube) from a Libyan passenger.

What makes you think the these hijackers were desperate. You seem to have been able to read their minds unless you you got information from higher-ups.

Did we get to know who their lawyers are by any chance?

Any evidence that this is a clip from the plane in question?

Can someone translate, please? At the end there seems to be a pilot announcement too.
