TRIPOLI, Libya - Two hijackers who commandeered a jetliner from Sudan’s Darfur region and diverted it to a remote desert airstrip in southern Libya surrendered Wednesday after a 22-hour standoff, an airline official said.

Sun Air Executive Director Murtada Hassan said officials at the airport in Kufra, Libya, informed him of the surrender. He said there were only two hijackers but that others may have slipped out with the 87 passengers who were released earlier.
