The 12 hostages from the hijacked Kuwaiti jumbo jet who were freed in Cyprus were taken to hospital in Larnaca after they were released in exchange for fuel for the plane. One of those released, who didn’t want his name used, told reporter Nick Steens how he felt when he was set free after the eight-day ordeal.
