The crew of an Air Seychelles flight flying from Mumbai to Seychelles via Male in 2002 subdued a passenger armed with a knife who attempted to enter the cockpit, according to a US Embassy cable leaked by Wikileaks.
The confidential cable claimed the attempted hijacker “who looks as if he could be an Indian or Bangladeshi”, was carrying a forged passport identifying him as Chandra Babu Sasi.
The full Wikileaks archive was released on Friday. Of the 3325 documents leaked from the US Embassy in Colombo, 150 concern the Maldives.
