Man attempts to hijack Alitalia Paris-Rome flight

A man has been overpowered by cabin crew on an Alitalia flight from Paris to Rome, after he drew out a small knife and demanded the plane divert to the Libyan capital, Tripoli.

Italian police named the man as Valery Tolmachev, aged 48. He is reportedly a member of the Kazakh delegation at Unesco in Paris.

:o This is most interesting part in my opinion.

it sounds strange. You don't hijack a plane with nail clippers. It could be overreaction by the flight crew.
