PARIS, Dec. 3 — A Pakistani airliner, about to take off, was seized in the name of Bengali rebellion today by an armed, 28‐year‐old Frenchman who terrorized the occupants of the craft, for seven hours before he was overpowered by policemen in a cockpit struggle.

A policeman was slightly wounded by a single shot fired from the hijacker's pistol. The crew of six and 15 passengers aboard at Orly Airport were unhurt.

To gain time in which to organize the hijacker's capture, the police pretended to accede to his conditions for the safety of the plane and of the other persons on it.

Threatened to Blow It Up

He had demanded that France load on the plane 20 tons of medical supplies for East Pakistani refugees and then allow the airliner to depart. Otherwise, he had said, he would blow it up. A passenger said that he backed up his threat by never letting out of his hand a small bag from which a piece of electric wire protruded.

The bag contained two dictionaries and a Bible.

The hijacker, identified as Jean Kay, was “kicked about a bit in the scuffle,” according to Michel Aurillac, Prefect of the Essone Department, in which the airport lies, but was not injured. He was undergoing interrogation, here tonight.

Mr. Aurillac Said the Interior Ministry had instructed hilt to capture the hijacker without bloodshed. In an interview after the capture, the Prefect said that he did not think that he had taken too great a risk. “If we had let him leave,” Mr. Aurillac said, “we would have a plane hijacked here once week.”

As the Pakistani International Airlines Boeing 720B taxied from its parking space past the main terminal building en route to the runway, the hijacker made his move. He handed his demands, on two written sheets, to the pilot, who, in turn, passed them to a runway mechanic. Kay then communicated his demands to the airport control tower, over the plane's radio.

This was shortly after noon. The plane had arrived from London with 17 passengers. Four more got on here for the rest of the journey to Karachi, via Rome and Cairo.

At the last moment, after registration had closed, according to Maurice Colon, chief of the Orly Airport police, the airline's ground personnel allowed the Frenchman to board without going through the normal security procedures. Mr. Colon said in an interview that the airline had acted in violation of rules.

Moments after the doors had closed and the jet engines had begun to warm up, the hijacker slipped into the cockpit and the captain, whose name could not be learned, told the runway mechanics, via a phone linked to the craft, to fill the fuel tanks to the top.

“I knew immediately that it was a hijacking,” one of the mechanics said afterward, “because with a full load of fuel the plane would have been too heavy to land at its next stop, Rome.”

The plane taxied to a halt directly in front of the main terminal building, about 100 yards away, and remained there for seven hours.

7 Are Allowed Off

In late afternoon, a small truck pulled alongside the plane and two men, one with a Red Cross flag, alighted. The plane's rear door was opened and the men conversed with a stewardess and a crewman.

Seven passengers, including a child, got off the plane. Mr. Colon said later that the authorities had — in preparation for the police assault—coaxed the hijacker into letting the aged and ill disembark.

The medicines were loaded slowly. Four policemen, disguised as freight handlers, got aboard, and two more policemen entered the front of the plane. The two police teams jumped on the hijacker.
