This was possible through the joint efforts of the Federal Government, the Ambassadors of Egypt, Libya and Syria, and the two PLO representatives in Karachi who had a hectic day having three full-round talks with the armed men. …Through their persuasions, the commandos stepped down from their original demand of immediate unconditional release of the two condemned Palestinian commandos by the Greek Government and reconciled themselves to the commutation of their death sentence. … The armed men left the Greek ship, m.v. “Vori”, for the Karachi Civil Airport at 10-45 p.m., and boarded a PIA Boeing-707 jet chartered by the Pakistan Government … “for its westward journey”. From the port to the airport, each commando shared the car separately with the three Arab envoys.
