Saturday 24th. Four GIA terrorists hijack an Air France A300 Airbus at the Algiers airport. The Airbus, bound for Paris, has passengers aboard. No one knows exactly what the terrorists' intentions are, only they are extremely determined and armed. They demand the liberation of their"brothers in arms" and want the aircraft to take off at the same time. After lengthy and intense discussions involving the Algerian and French authorities, the plane is allowed to remain. There are 3 main characters at the core of the actions: some member of this GIGN,'' Carole Jeanton, an ambitious technocrat eager to do anything needed to reach personal profit from these events, also Yahia Abdallah, also a determined jihadist who grew up in the slums of Algiers and continues to be manipulated by an vague GIA envoy, Ali Touchent.
