Tirana - An Albanian lawmaker aboard the hijacked Turkish airliner told a television channel that all passengers were safe and "there is no threat."

Sadri Abazi, of Albania's opposition Socialist Party, told a news agency in a brief cell phone call that one of the hijackers was at the pilots' cabin, while the other was behind the cockpit door. He said one of the hijackers appeared to be in his 30s and said all passengers were unharmed.

Meanwhile, Pope Benedict was informed that the hijackers reportedly wanted to deliver a message to him in protest at his planned trip to Turkey, the Vatican said on Tuesday.

Vatican spokesperson Father Federico Lombardi said the Holy See was following developments closely and that preparations for the November trip were going ahead. - AP/Reuters
