the plane's rear door yesterday
afternoon. officials said.
The two skyjackers, who had
threatened to blow up the plane
unless it was refueled and
flown to Sweden or another
country, let four deadlines pass
without incident.
At one point, they were of-
fered a light plane to fly them;
out of Finland, but turned down
the offer, airport officials said.

ment with the Soviet Union, its
big eastern neighbor, to auto-
matically extradite all air hi-

The hostages freed from the
plane early in the day were re-
ported in good condition and
the only injury was a twisted
ankle suffered by one of the
men who escaped. They were
flown' back to the Soviet Union
yesterday evening.
The conditions of the last 20

The plane, with 78 passengers
and crew aboard in addition to
the hijackers, was comman-
deered Sunday night on a 175-
mile domestic hop from Petro-
zavodsk, the capital of Soviet
Karelia, to Leningrad.
The hijackers demanded to
be flown to Stockholm, where
another Soviet hijacker land-
ed in May, and was not shipped
back to Russia.

Finland yesterday. The hijackers later boarded a small plane and left for an undisclosed loca-
tion.

Kaalas told Swedish TV the So.

hijackers into thinking they
were landing in Stockholm
when he set down in Helsinki.
