#Breaking: Pilot’s mistake sets off Kandahar hijack alarm at Delhi airport

A hijack scare on a Kandahar-bound flight sent security officials at the Delhi international airport into tizzy on Saturday after the pilot "mistakenly" pressed the ‘hijack button’ when it was taxiing for take-off, officials said.

The Ariana Afghan Airlines plane, with nine crew members and 124 passengers and an infant, took off nearly two hours later after "satisfactory" security checks, they said.
