And nobody is absolutely sure exactly where in the world they are.

They still have a price on their head.

Yeah, this was this extraordinary thing.

At the beginning of the pandemic, somebody got in touch with me and said, we're making a film.

We're going to make a documentary about this hijack.

And that was one of those sort of weird things in the pandemic.

You know, I had odd dreams.

I thought that's got to be a dream.

Who on earth in 2020 is going to make a film about a 1986 hijack?

But it was so.

And over the next decade,

couple of years I had various, I was interviewed by the television crew and so on, and then one day the director came to me and he said, look, he said, this is for you to think about, but I have been in touch with the terrorist in his American jail.

And he has said he would talk to you if you wanted to ask him questions, you can talk to him on the phone.

And again, you know, I thought about it a lot.

But I had to say yes.

Yes, I have questions.

I have questions that I want to ask him.

I didn't think he would answer them honestly.

And so, you know, this extraordinary thing that I'm standing in my own kitchen, holding the director's mobile phone in my hand, waiting for a phone call.

And the phone rang, and it's Zaid Safarini.
