The FBI had obtained the original photos in 2000 and now with the help of using age-progression, they created the latest photos, a media release said.
The September 5, 1986 storming of Pan Am Flight 73 which had landed in Karachi from Mumbai resulted in the killing of 20 passengers and crew, including two Americans, the attempted murder of 379 passengers and crew, and the wounding of more than 100 persons on board.
The Department of State Rewards for Justice Programme offers a reward of up to $5 million each for information leading to the arrest and/or conviction of the alleged hijackers.
Each of these individuals are believed to have been members of the Abu Nidal Organization (ANO), previously on the US state department’s list of designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations.
Each of them currently are on the list of FBI’s most wanted terrorists.
Flight attendant Neerja Bhanot saved the lives of 359 passengers before she was shot dead by the terrorists. The 23-year-old was posthumously awarded the Ashok Chakra for her bravery.
A film focusing on the hijacking incident and Neerja Bhanot’s life was made in 2016. Sonam Kapoor played the titular role in the film, which was directed by Ram Madhvani.
