Cuban plane with 14 people on board hijacked

MIAMI (Reuters) -- A small plane with 14 people on board was hijacked from Cuba Tuesday and was heading for south Florida, Miami police and airport officials said.

The plane was due to land at Miami's Opa-Locka Airport, Miami-Dade police spokesman Pete Andrews said.

Cynthia Paul, a spokeswoman for Miami International Airport, said 14 people were aboard the Russian-built Antonov An-2 Coltaircraft.

"Thirteen minutes ago it was still in Cuban airspace with limited fuel...we're told its a hijack," she said.
