India reveals whereabouts of airline hijackers

India has said that the escaped hijackers of an Indian Airlines passenger jet are Pakistanis who have now fled to Quetta in Pakistan. However Pakistan has denied that the five hijackers with the three imprisoned men released in exchange for the release of hostages have entered the country. As the 155 hostages made a emotional return home, Pakistan's Interior Minister said that if the hijackers enter Pakistan territory, they will be apprehended and tried under established international rules and conventions to which Pakistan is signatory.
