Terrible news coming from Mexico.

A Boeing 737 Aeromexico jet with 104 passengers has been hijacked on the tarmac at Mexico City's airport, CNN affiliate TV Azteca reports.

It looks like the abductors are from Bolivia and they aboard the jet threatened to blow it up if their demand to speak to President Felipe Calderon is not met, the station said.

The incident began at 1:40 p.m. (2:40 p.m. ET), when the plane arrived from Cancun.
