Cathay Pacific Hijacked on 25th may 2005
My unsolved doubt is why this matter has not come in to light of the public. I am requesting youto recognize my work.
I am a Sri Lankan, orked in State of Qatar during theyear 2005. My name is Kosgahamula GedaraLeelananada Jayasuriya, and my passport number is
M 1048966. I came to Sri Lanka on a vacation inMay 2005, and went on holiday to Singapore on 25th
May 2005, by Cathay Pacific Airways.
When I was purchased the ticket from the ticketingagent he warned me that they got to know from
confidential means that travelling on this day will berisky.
I travelled myself alone. I remember at this time Colombo Airport was under renovation. I saw atairport 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 theterminal. 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 into the airplane I saw a lady,supposed to be the cabin
crew supervisor was blaming her other members
and saw she had threatenedand locked them inside the
airport terminal. After that Isaw fight attendants who
were locked in, were wavingin gesture to us. Some of us
wave them and laughs why they are waving us without coming to fly with us.Cathay pacific took off around 09.30 PM.
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 serveand 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 suppliedwith 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 saiddon'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 somestruggle 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 saidthere 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 recite 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 toCathay Pacific carrying a bomb pretended to be a Cam Coder. He is
known as "What". Qatar government is willing to forgive him andlet him return to Qatar, and he will be rewarded some big sum if he
return his bomb to government. (I myself knew as "What"). Andannounce 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 keptin mind this tip also. I said I will sleep now and wake up in half an hour, stopping mycommunication 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 thisarea 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 tofind 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 in a cup and asked me to be calm that we are high jacked. My intention was to talk with her. I asked her whether she can communicate with pilots.
She said yes and I let her to move to her place. Then I shouted "You are doing it in wrong time. Iwas 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 lahoomuqrineena 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 met by the authorities we are sending the flight in to a volcano. The hijackers are

now supporting me. The flightattendant can communicate
with the pilots. I ordered to flythe plane around the volcano. I
announced later our demands
were not met by authorities.The pilots now announced thatthe airplane cannot control. It
is running in to volcano crater.The Airplane seems to be lost
contols, and everybody wascertain that the airplane lost
control. I told the man whowas previously in control to
shoot himself before we drivein to the volcano. When he
shoots himself the flight attendant took the pistol from him and shoot another man, saying this isthe other.
Now, I could remember the tip given me by Cathay pacific Office. I told them to turn toautopilot. They asked how? I said push the big button or put the lever down or do both. Then,
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 goingfurther 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 alady 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 myfuture 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 torun 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 Pacificoffice 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. Theysaid 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 the 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 theyasked 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 theywill monitor from outside what will happen. So it happened this way. I walked alone into to theairport. (I recently recovered my phone number for this contacts was 0974 5219485)
I was desperate for no one recognized my act, which took part without loss of passenger livesand your airplane from destruction.
This matter was the talk of the Singapore town on next two days. They were searching me, but Ihad to spent my vacation in a basement room of a hotel.
Airport Authorities may be aware of this incident completely. My unsolved doubt is why thiswas not come in to light of the public. I am requesting you to recognize my work.
Hostages on board are having the right to fight against terrorism for their own safety, because in
aviation history majority of hijacks ended with destruction and loss of valuable lives. Further, itis evident in recent incidents authorities have never agreed to meet the skyjackers' demands.
Skyjackers are getting on board not due to passengers fault. Passengers pay for a comfortable &safe ride throughout the journey. Several governments have decided (Sept. 11) to shoot down
hijacked aircrafts including passengers, also enacted in legislations.
