But he swung around, came in again and soon found himself surrounded by Italian carabinieri and some 50 U.S. Delta Force commandos, who had piled out of U.S. C-141 transport planes that had landed within moments of the EgyptAir craft and were proceeding on orders from the White House to take custody of the terrorists...
