Ali Said Abdella was part of "Mejmouet Al Eqab”—the Punishment Group (see picture Above)--which was organized by the late Osman Saleh Sabbe to avenge Haile Selassie's troops burning of tens of villages. The Al Eqab Group conducted minor military operations but it is best known for hijacking an Ethiopian plane and commandeering it to Karachi, Pakistan. When they were arrested, Seyoum Haregot, then representing Ethiopia’s government, traveled to Karachi to ask for their extradition to Ethiopia. The Pakistani authorities refused to hand over the prisoners, insisting that they would be punished in accordance with Pakistani law. They were sentenced to a one-year prison term, but they were released after six months and traveled to Beirut, thanks to mediation by the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO.)
