Protesters were chanting slogans against the U-N and Washington.

The first of two airplanes carrying the 155 freed captives from Afghanistan arrived in New Delhi late on Friday - to a warm and emotional welcome from Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and relatives. The eight-day ordeal had ended earlier in the day after India had flown three Islamic militants imprisoned on terror charges to the Kandahar airport. Friday's exchange ended an eight-day crisis which took the hostages to India, Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates and Afghanistan. The hijackers had agreed to release the hostages in return for three militants freed in India earlier in the day. An Indian plane carrying the militants landed at Kandahar on Friday afternoon, coming to a stop about a half-mile (almost a kilometre) away from the hijacked Indian Airlines plane. The hijackers had demanded the release of 36 militants jailed in India for their fight against Indian rule of the disputed territory of Kashmir.\u003cbr/\u003ePlane in distance, with hostages getting off, zoom in to hostages being driven away in bus\u003cbr/\u003eJeep with Taliban men on back\u003cbr/\u003eVarious interior of hijacked Indian Airlines plane \u003cbr/\u003eHand blocking camera lens\u003cbr/\u003eUK - Hijacked Afghan Airplane\u003cbr/\u003eStansted, UK - 7 Feb 2000\u003cbr/\u003eBritish police have launched urgent negotiations with hijackers who seized an Afghan passenger airliner and forced it across Central Asia and Europe before landing in the U- K . The hijacked Ariana aircraft remains parked about a half-mile east of the main passenger terminal at Stansted airport outside London. Heavy security forces are surrounding the airport. Eight of the 165 hostages who were flown to the U-K were freed during the day's negotiations - five in the morning and three more several hours later. In both cases, no reason was disclosed for releasing the hostages - three men, three women and two children. A flurry of activity was seen around the plane on Monday afternoon. But it was difficult to tell what exactly was going on - whether it was the delivery of supplies or hostages being released that was being observed. The hijackers previously released a total of 22 hostages in return for supplies during earlier stops in Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Russia. They arrived at Stansted shortly after 2 a.m. (0200 GMT) on Monday with 165 hostages on board. \u003cbr/\u003eWide shot front of plane crew member cleaning the front of the window\u003cbr/\u003eWide shot police van with soldiers behind it\u003cbr/\u003eSAS soldier crawling under fence and walking\u003cbr/\u003eVarious SAS and police vans\u003cbr/\u003ePan across Ariana aircraft\u003cbr/\u003eVan next to airplane, people getting out\u003cbr/\u003eUK - Hijacked Afghan Airplane\u003cbr/\u003eStansted, Essex - 7 February 2000\u003cbr/\u003ePolice storming plane at end of hijacking drama\u003cbr/\u003eHostages leaving plane\u003cbr/\u003eHijacker leaving plane with hands up\u003cbr/\u003eAfghanistan - 73 former Hijack Hostages Return Home \u003cbr/\u003eKandahar, Afghanistan - 14 February 2000 \u003cbr/\u003eEight days after their plane was hijacked and taken to Britain, 73 passengers flew home to Afghanistan on Monday to a heroes' welcome.

Some were due to appear in court on Monday. More than more than half the hostages from last week's plane hijack flew home on a chartered aircraft on Monday. Sixty adults and 13 children - including 10 crew members - waited inside the plane as it taxied to a halt at Kandahar airport. As they stepped on the runway, they were greeted by the Taliban's foreign minister Wakil Ahmed Muttawakil who handed out hugs, chocolates and a brand new shalwar kameez, the traditional Afghan dress,
