Italian arrested on second hijack attempt

A 29-year-old Italian former policeman was arrested yesterday after attempting to hijack an aircraft for the second time in three years.

“Oh God, he’s done it again,” said Stefano Savorani’s mother Orella when told of his latest bid.

Savorani, who tried to hijack a Paris-bound Alitalia jetliner in mid-air yesterday, was kicked out of the Italian police because of mental problems, said French authorities.
