HIJACKED PLANES, HIJACKED LETTERS?

Until yesterday no letters have come to the parliamentary committees of defence, national security, and law enforcement about the government decision concerning the elaboration of counterstrike against civilian aircrafts hijacked for terrorist goals.

György Keleti MP, the Socialist chairman of the Defence Committee said usually the body received materials within two days but this document did not arrive. Zoltán Gál J. government spokesman said the Ministry of Defence would inform the concerned committees about the scheduled order in such a case. This had been done to comply with the request of NATO to form a national system of decision making for such cases.
