A Kazakh diplomat was detained in Rome after trying to hijack a plane and force it to fly to Libyan capital Tripoli. A flight attendant was lightly wounded in the incident. Valery Tolmachev serves as an advisor to Kazakhstan’s envoy to UNESCO. On an Alitalia flight from Paris to Rome, he took a flight attendant hostage using a nail file (other sources say manicure scissors or a small Swiss Army knife), demanding to fly to Tripoli. He was overpowered and sedated by crewmembers. After the airplane landed in Rome, Tolmachev was taken into Italian police custody. Colleagues speculate that he was suffering from a nervous breakdown.
