MILITANT KILLER GEORGE WRIGHT BUSTED IN PORTUGAL

WRIGHT IN 1970

A MURDERING militant who killed a war hero, escaped from prison and went on to carry out one of the most brazen hijackings in US history, has been captured after more than 40-years in Portugal. 
George Wright's run from the law began in November, 1962, when he killed gas station attendant and father of two, Walter Paterson, in Wall, NJ. 
But eight years into his 15 to 30 years sentence, for killing the decorated World War Two veteran, in 1970, he manged to escape with three other men from the Bayside State Prison. 
The FBI said he hooked up with the Black Liberation Army in Detroit, living in a "communal family" with several member.
It was with them that he hatched a daring plan to hijack a plane.
