The plane was forced to land in Havana due to insufficient fuel.

According to Reuters, plane still is on the ground in Havana and hijacker in the back of the plane. Hijackers have forced refueling and takeoffs before, so this ain't over till the hijacker surrenders and passengers safe.

I hope all ends well for everyone . We don't want to be forced to shoot the plane down . I bet it's just someone who want s political asylum .
