TORONTO (AP) — A Palestinian man convicted of hijacking an airliner in Greece in 1968 has been deported from Canada 26 years after entering the country using an alias, the immigration minister said Monday.

Immigration Minister Jason Kenney said the case “made a mockery of Canada’s generosity and our fair immigration system for two and a half decades.”
