}}Ethiopian Airlines Flight 708 was a Boeing 720-060B, due to operate an international scheduled Addis Ababa–Asmara–Athens–Rome–Paris passenger service, that experienced a hijacking attempt on {{date|1972-12-8}}.[1][2]

Summary

Minutes after departing from Haile Selassie I International Airport bound for Paris, when the aircraft was flying at some {{convert|29000|ft}},[2] seven members{{#tag:ref|There exists a discrepancy over the number of men and women in the group that attempted to hijack the aircraft, depending upon the source: five men and two women,[1] or six men and a woman.[5]|group="nb"}} of the Eritrean Liberation Front stood up and tried to gain control of the plane.[1] A hand grenade that was armed by one of the hijackers was rolled down the aisle by a passenger.[5] The grenade exploded in the rear part of the fuselage, some {{convert|6|in}} off the plane's centreline, blowing a hole in the cabin floor and damaging or severing several controls of the aircraft, including those of throttle of two engines, of the rudder, and of the horizontal stabiliser.[2][5] Despite this, the crew turned back the airplane to the airport of origin and managed to land it safely;[2] it sustained minor damages that were repaired later.[1]

Security guards —there were six of them aboard— opened fire at the terrorists, killing six of the hijackers on board, while the seventh one died in a hospital.[1]
