If they were desperate enough to ninja a plane to get out of the country then maybe they had very good reasons to run from the talibanana's?

Yes. But why fly all the way from Afghanistan to the UK? Were there really no other safe countries along the way?

Armed with guns and explosives, they held the plane at Stansted Airport for 70 hours before giving themselves up to police and SAS.

Given that they chose the UK as their country of asylum, why wait 70 hours?

The cost to the taxpayer of the whole affair has been unofficially estimated at around £10 million.

Oh dear. I wonder what the final cost will be?
