Hijacked plane lands in Florida Hijacked plane leaves Havana Cuban aircraft hijacked - FBI

Havana - A group of people on Wednesday seized a Cuban passenger ferry and demanded to be taken to the United States, the father of a crew member said, one day after a Cuban airliner was hijacked to Florida.

"Fifteen or 16 people boarded the boat and forced the crew to head to the open seas," Gilberto Vargas, the father of one of the crew members told AFP.

The boat was ferrying people between various areas of the Havana bay.

There was no immediate official confirmation of the incident.
