{UAH} Accused Co-pilot in Ethiopian Airlines Hijacking Identified

Folks;

Talk about a story within a story.

The main story here, is ofcourse, the bewildering hijacking of Ethiopian airliner by the co-pilot. After threatening to crash the airplane with 200 people aboard, the hijacker circled Switzerland for an hour-and-a -half unchallenge by Swiss Airforce.

Now we come to the reason, and the story within the story: "Italian and French fighter jets were scrambled because the Swiss Air Force does not report to work till 8 a.m. for budget reasons."

Switzerland enjoys peace because other nations provide it for them, while their military is asleep. A nation whose airforce works 8 to 5, is not my idea of a secure nation.
