Cathay Pacific was hijacked on her way from Colombo to Hong Kong on 25th May 2005

We were Hijacked

I am a Sri Lankan, worked in State of Qatar during the year 2005. My name is Kosgahamula Gedara Leelananada Jayasuriya, and my passport number is M 1048966. I came to Sri Lanka on a vacation in May 2005, and went on holiday to Singapore on 25th May 2005, by Cathay Pacific Airline.

When I was purchased the ticket from the ticketing agent he warned me that they got to know from confidential means that travelling on this day will be risky.

I travelled myself alone. I remember at this time Colombo airport was under renovation.  I saw at airport each cabin crew was allowed to enter in as teams. There was a conflict between two teams of flight attendants which team has to go first, when they had to get in to their flights at the terminal. I met a Sri Lankan passenger before the fight and he told me that he going to Singapore to participate on an Aquarium Exhibition and a conference.

Before we were entering in to the airplane I saw a lady, supposed to be the cabin crew supervisor was blaming her other members and saw she had threatened and locked them inside the airport terminal. After that I saw fight attendants who were locked in, were waving in gesture to us.  Some of us wave them and laughs why they are waving us without coming to fly with us.

Now flight took off and the flight supervisor lady was busy. She came back after visiting the rear end and said other flight attendants are inside their sleeping berth and refused to come to serve and she said she will handle all the work.  I saw she was wearing a pistol on her belt at waist and I asked what this is for. She said this is for hijack. I said that is a good idea you were supplied with pistols for preventing hijack. When the airplane was on sky there was the time for meals. This flight attendant cannot handle all this work. Then there were some volunteers. They said don't worry and they helped her. It seems those volunteers were skilled in this work and having some experience on doing it.

After some time I saw the flight attendant and another man staying front of us having some struggle and he captured her pistol. Then he was in command and revealed that this is a hijack. Passengers were in confused and disturbed. I had the Cathy pacific flight magazine in front of me.  My mobile was working I phoned the office address and I could contact them. I said we were hijacked. They admitted that it was true. The voice asked me how many of them.  I said there is one man with a pistol. I briefed the situation, and there are some volunteers also. The Cathy pacific voice said it is not one it is more than one.

I told I can control the situation, saying that I am having my Cam Coder and I know one Muslim prayer that has to recites before the beginning of the journey. And I told them to send a massage before they announce the plane was hijacked, saying that ground operations could capture a member terrorist at Colombo air port and he revealed a dangerous terrorist was boarded to Cathay Pacific carrying a bomb pretended to be a Cam Coder. He is known as "What". Qatar government is willing to forgive him and let him return to Qatar, and he will be rewarded some big sum if he return his bomb to government.  (I myself knew as "What"). And announce the flight staff to obey his command and land safely. Cathay pacific finally gave me a clue that the airplane is having auto pilot system and in a difficult situation it could be used. I kept in mind this tip also. I said I will sleep now and wake up in half an hour, stopping my communication with the telephone line. Now there are few passengers in my side, I told them I will fight with terrorists. So that there can be a shooting take place. So for their safety leave this are and go to other seating area everybody at different location and tell others that there is another terrorist. They came from their locations because they were afraid of him and wanted to find safer place. This way I could establish an opinion among other passengers now there is another terrorist different from this gang.

After some time I wake up, asking some water. When I demanded it several times the so called flight attendant come to me with a water cup and asked me to be calm that we are high jacked. When I hear this I shouted "You are doing it in wrong time. I was sent to do it right. I know when it has to do." After some time I stand up from my seat. I changed my small battery of the cam coder with a large size Battery looks like a bomb for everybody to see. And then I started my prayer.

"Bismillahi rahmaini rahim, Subhanalla-thee sakh-khara-lana haatha wa-ma kun-na lahoo muqrineena wa inna ila Rabbina la-mun-qali-boon."

They found I am more powerful than them. They wanted me to be their companion. I said if our demand not meets by the authorities we are sending the flight in to a volcano. The hijackers are now supporting me. The flight attendant can communicate with the pilots. I ordered to fly the plane around the volcano. I announced later our demands were not met by authorities. I told the man who was previously in control to shoot himself before we drive in to the volcano. When he shoots himself the flight attendant took the pistol from him and shoot another man, saying this is the other.

The pilots now announced that the airplane cannot control. It is running in to volcano crater. Now, I could remember the tip given me by Cathay pacific Office. I told them to turn to autopilot. Sometime later the air plane movements came to normal.

Thereafter, I told everybody to relax now. I thought the matter is over. Then some people in the plane asked me where I am getting down. I said in Singapore.  Some of them said they are going further than that. I have done nothing. When the flight is brought to their destination they will be rewarded. ( May be it is Bali) And said the fight will not bring down to Singapore. There was a lady passenger sitting other side behind my seat, and we discussed this is not only two. There are some more hijackers. The so called volunteers could be the others. I told her to support me in my future addressing.

Now this was the most difficult part. Because I already revealed that my camcorder was a fake bomb. Now I said "The first part of operation is over, this is the second part of my operation. I pretended you this is fake bomb, but this is real Bomb."  I told we all will be provided facilities to run away when the flight landed in Singapore. The pilots are now listening only to my words and not their orders. The pilots also seem to be their gang.

The pilots announce some time later that we have reached Singapore. My mobile is having the Cathay pacific number stored now. Pretending I am contacting my group I called Cathay Pacific office that we are reaching Singapore Airport in 30 minutes, and I met another group of friend who supported me. And I told them to make arrangements to take away our friends safely.

They are happy now, and they revealed me that there is a large quantity of explosives they brought to explode the plane. They said those are right behind the wall to my seating row. They said they will not leave me until my mission is complete. They said they will set time to explode the explosives. I said I also having this same plan, if my negotiations with Singapore Airport authorities fails. I told them not to set the timing to explosives. My bomb is capable of emitting gamma rays that will penetrate even in to fuel tanks. So it will take effect on their explosives also. Then they asked me how I will come out. I said don't worry; I am wearing a second skin. When I remove this nobody can recognize me. But my problem now is when I remove my skin in front of passengers they will identify me.  They said they have an arrangement for this. Now, this moment about four Cathay pacific flight attendants also available while our plane was landed at air port. They instructed the flight attendants to evacuate the passengers and them also to leave and they will monitor from outside what will happen.  So it happened this way. I walked alone into to the airport. (I recently recovered my phone number was 0974 5219485)

I was desperate for no one recognized my act, which took part without loss of passenger lives  and your airplane from destruction.

This matter was the talk of the Singapore town on next two days. They were searching me, but I spent my vacation in a basement room of a hotel.

Airport Authorities may be aware of this incident completely. My unsolved doubt is why this was not come in to light of the public. I am requesting you to recognize my work.

Yours truly,

Leelananda Jayasuriya
