Mauritania, dirottato aereo passeggeri
Sparatoria, molti feriti a bordo
NOUAKCHOTT - Dirottamento aereo con sparatoria nei cieli africani. Un Boeing 737 dell'Air Mauritania è stato dirottato ed è atterrato alle Canarie nell'aeroporto di Las Palmas. A bordo ci sarebbero "molti feriti"
Non si sa chi siano i dirottatori, nè il numero di passeggeri. L'aereo era partito da Nouakchott alle 17:40 locali (le 18:40 in Italia), diretto alle Canarie, e doveva fare scalo a Nouadhibou, nel nord della Mauritania, dopo 45 minuti di volo. Il dirottamento è avvenuto prima dello scalo.
Secondo le fonti, il Boeing ha provato ad atterrare a Dakhla, una città del Sahara occidentale, ma le autorità marocchine hanno rifiutato il permesso all'atterraggio. Poi si è posato alle Canarie. Quindi la sparatoria. I passeggeri sarebbero adesso al sicuro.

La BBC conferma quello detto da cece:
Mauritania pilot outwits hijacker
The pilot of a hijacked Air Mauritania plane deliberately made a rough landing so passengers and crew could tackle the gunman, Spanish officials say.
He tipped off passengers about the plan after realising the hijacker spoke no French, one official told AP agency.
The hijacker was overpowered after being knocked over as planned during the landing in Spain's Canary Islands.
Mauritanian police are investigating how the hijacker boarded the Boeing 737 with two loaded handguns.
'Boiling water'
The gunman seized the jet soon after take-off from the capital, Nouakchott, and demanded to be flown to France to seek asylum, officials say.
One report said a gun was held to the pilot's head during the hijack.
But as the pilot approached Gando military base near Las Palmas international airport, he used the plane's intercom system to tell passengers in French of his plan, said AP quoting a Spanish official.
"The pilot and his colleagues decided to abruptly apply brakes on landing to throw off-balance the hijacker, who was hurled to the floor by the jerk and was quickly overpowered before being handed over to the Spanish police force," a Mauritanian official told AFP news agency.
One report said flight attendants threw boiling water at him and around 10 people overpowered him.
The pilot, named by Air Mauritania as Ahmedou Mohamed Lemine, had urged crew members and men to sit in the front rows, ready to act, while women and children were warned to move to the rear, AP said.
Spanish officials say the lone hijacker was a 32-year-old Mauritanian, but Mauritania disputes this.
Seventy-one passengers - mostly Spaniards and Mauritanians - and eight crew were on the plane, reports from Spain said.
Twenty-one passengers were injured in the incident, including a pregnant woman who was treated for severe shock.
Homecoming
The jet returned home on Friday and the crew members were given a heroes' welcome.
Mauritania's President Ely Ould Mohamed Vall also returned home on Friday following the incident. He had been expected to stay at a summit in the south of France until Saturday.
The hijacked plane took off from the north-west African nation in the late afternoon on Thursday.
It tried to land at Dakhla, in Western Sahara, but Moroccan authorities refused permission, security officials said.
The plane was due to stop over in the northern Mauritanian port of Nouadhibou, before continuing to Gran Canaria, in Spain's Canary Islands.
In 1998 an armed hijacker commandeered an Air Mauritania jet, demanding to take it to Morocco.
He also was overpowered by the pilot and there were no casualties in the incident.
