A review of the IC814 hijacking recalls the release of terrorists Masood Azhar, Omar Sheikh, and Mushtaq Ahmed Zargar, highlighting the severe consequences that followed. After his release, Masood Azhar sponsored major terror attacks, while Omar Sheikh wired 100,000 dollars to Al-Qaeda terrorists for the 9/11 attacks and was involved in the beheading of United States journalist Daniel Pearl. Mushtaq Ahmed Zargar was also behind multiple attacks in India. The bulletin reflects on the ordeal of innocent passengers held at gunpoint, commends the courage of passengers and the pilot, and raises questions over aviation security and terror threats.

00:06While experts remember the 9-11 or are analysing this case, I remind you about the IC-814.
00:15When the centuries were turning, India for days was watching carefully about the life of its own passengers.
00:22Here's what happened. Remember Masood Azhar, the terrorist who had to be released when he and others had hijacked the
00:31IC-814.
00:41Alright, we'll go across to that in just a short while. But here's what happened.
00:46So remember Masood Azhar, Omar Sheikh. And we'll remove that from the screens.
00:50Omar Sheikh, Masood Azhar and three of them who, when we had released those terrorists, led to even bigger problems.
01:00What happened, remember, when Masood Azhar was released?
01:02He was released and then sponsored, of course, the biggest terror attacks.
01:07What happened when other terrorists like Omar Sheikh, who was later, though, of course, found convicted,
01:14he wired $100,000 to Al-Qaeda terrorists for 9-11 attacks, beheaded U.S. journalist Daniel Pearl, even though
01:21managed to be acquitted later,
01:22and then Mushtaq Ahmed Zargar behind multiple attacks in India.
01:26India knows fairly well what terrorism can do.
01:30We remember IC-814. We remember how these hijackers use it on the gunpoint for innocent passengers,
01:37but to have their own terrorists released.
01:46I'm heading into a very short break. Stay tuned.
01:49And while we thank the courage of these passengers, the pilot, and everybody else who was on board to ensure
01:55they were saved,
01:56their fellow passengers were saved, and a lesson for humanity to be united in cases like this.
02:02But a bigger question is, how did a man with those terrorist intentions manage to become a pilot, fly on
02:09a sensitive route?
02:10That will be a bigger question that the society together will have to battle against.
