The hijackers of a Sudanese plane flown to Libya have freed all 95 passengers on board.
The crew are still onboard the the Sun Air Boeing 737 which was seized by the hijackers shortly after taking off from the Darfur town of Nyala on Tuesday.
It is believed the hijackers relented and let the passengers go after air conditioning failed onboard, causing illness and fainting.
The plane is parked in Libya's desert town of Kufra, where the hijackers have been asking fro fuel to fly to France.
The request has so far been denied by the Libyan government.
The aircraft was on its way to the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, on Tuesday, when a man with a knife hijacked it.
It initially tried to put down in Cairo, Egypt, where it was denied permission to land.
Sudanese officials say the hijackers belong to the rebel Sudanese Liberation Army of Abdel Wahid Mohammed Nur.

Flying to Europe?
Its logical to do so because its the westerners that sneakingly fuel all these terorrists in Sudan and its neighbors.
They will be hail as hero there, as long as they continue to be their foot soldiers.
