Julienne Bušić

Julienne Bušić

Julienne Bušić (1948-) is the wife of Zvonko Busic and a member of the Croatian Freedom Fighters. She was arrested in 1976 after hijacking a TWA airliner and sentenced to life in prison.

She reentered the public eye when she was attacked by fellow inmate (at FCI Pleasanton) and attempted U.S. Presidential assassin Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme in 1979 [ [http://www.squeakyfromme.org/media/faces.htm Fromme Faces New Charges] ] .

She was released from federal prison in 1990 after serving 13 years. She subsequently has been active supporting Croatian humanitarian causes in the U.S. and Europe. Her book, "Lovers and Madmen" (2000, Writers Club Press), chronicles her relationship with Zvonko and the events leading up to the hijacking.

As of 2007, Zvonko Bušić was in the Communications Management Unit (CMU) in Terre Haute, Indiana, but on July 24th, 2008, Zvonko Bušić returned to Croatia.
