一名女子企圖劫持紐西蘭飛機 (Woman Attempts to Hijack New Zealand Plane)

一名持刀女子星期五在紐西蘭航空公司的一架班機上襲擊兩名飛行員，她要求飛往澳大利亞，並威脅要炸毀飛機。

這名女子被制服，受傷的飛行員仍然把飛機安全降落在克賴斯特徹奇。警察和急救人員迅速登上飛機，逮捕這名33歲的女子，並轉移了六名未受傷的乘客。

在這架從布萊尼姆飛往克賴斯特徹奇的飛機上沒有發現爆炸物。兩名飛行員的傷勢沒有生命危險。

有關官員說，那名女子是索馬利亞人。

她被控犯有劫機罪和故意傷人罪，並且將於星期六齣庭。

在這架有19個乘客座位的飛機上，乘客艙和駕駛艙之間只用簾子隔開。

A knife-wielding woman -- demanding to be flown to Australia -- attacked both pilots on an Air New Zealand flight today (Friday) and threatened to blow up the aircraft.

The woman was restrained and the wounded pilots were able to land the plane safely in Christchurch. police and emergency crews immediately boarded the plane to arrest the 33-year-old woman and evacuate the six uninjured passengers.

No explosives were found on the plane, which was on a flight from Blenheim to Christchurch. The pilots' injuries were not life threatening.

Officials say the woman is a native of Somalia.

She has been charged with hijacking and wounding with intent. She will appear in court Saturday.

Only curtains separated the cockpit from travelers on the 19 passenger seat plane.

法國總統就他給前妻發短信的聲稱狀告雜誌 (French President Sues Magazine Over Ex-Wife Text Message Claim)

法國總統尼古拉.薩爾科齊正在起訴一家法國新聞網站。在此之前，這家網站聲稱薩爾科齊在與前超級模特卡拉.布呂尼成婚之前，曾發短信給前妻塞西莉亞。

新觀察家雜誌網站報導說，薩爾科齊在給前妻的短信中寫道：“如果你回來，我將取消婚禮”。薩爾科齊的律師說，這家網站捏造了整個故事。

薩爾科齊和前妻去年10月宣佈離婚，他和布呂尼經過旋風式的戀愛之後於上星期結婚。

本星期早些時候，法國一家法庭命令廉價航空公司瑞安航空向薩爾科齊總統象徵性支付1.5美元賠償金，並向布呂尼支付8萬8千美元賠償金，理由是瑞安航空公司未經授權使用他們的照片在報紙上刊登廣告。

French President Nicolas Sarkozy is suing a French news website after it claimed he sent a text message to his ex-wife Cecilia just before his marriage to former super-model Carla Bruni.

The website of the magazine Nouvel Observateur reported that Sarkozy had written to his former wife -- quote -- "if you come back, I'll call it all off." Mr. Sarkozy's attorney said the website fabricated the entire story.

Mr. Sarkozy and his former wife announced their divorce in October, and he married Bruni last week following a whirlwind romance.

Earlier this week, a French court ordered the budget airline Ryanair to pay a symbolic one-and-a-half dollar award to Mr. Sarkozy and 88-thousand dollars to Bruni for unauthorized use of their picture in a newspaper advertisement.
