Two Libyan men who hijacked a plane from Libya to Malta and threatened to blow it up have surrendered peacefully, allowing 118 passengers and crew to leave the aircraft before walking out alongside the last of the crew.
The Afriqiyah flight was travelling from Sabha to Tripoli before diverting to Malta.
The Maltese prime minister later announced the weapons used by the hijackers were in fact fake.
A further 44 passengers are being released from the hijacked plane, the Maltese prime minister said.
This would mean two passengers are left on board, who are understood to be the highjackers, along with seven crew members.
