Yes it was a Pan AM 747 enroute to Frankfurt
from Bombay which was hijacked while on ground at an intermediate stop in Karachi back in 1986. The cockpit crew exited the
aircraft and later the commandos stormed the plane. Around 15 people lost their lives including a stewrdess who according to newsreports at that time was trying to protect some young children from the cross fire.
