#2 This from a Grauniad news article:

"The other hijackers were not the men Wright escaped from prison with."

Which implies he wasn't the brains behind the hijacking. Wright probably got in through his membership in the Black Liberation Army (BLA). The BLA had ties with groups such as Weather Underground and Colombia's M-19.

#3 I had to look twice at the spelling, for a second I thought you were talking about Columbia the uniersity, not Colombia the country.
