"A Libyan passenger plane has been hijacked by two pro-Gaddafi supporters armed with hand grenades.

Maltese state TV said the men on board were threatening to blow the aircraft up if their demands - as yet unknown - were not met.

The Libyan Afriqiyah Airways A320 plane is believed to have 118 people on board, with the hijacking first confirmed by Malta's Prime Minister on Twitter."

"It is understood the plane's engines are still running and there are 111 passengers and 7 crew members onboard. Maltese armed forces are yet to approach the aircraft."
