Suspected EgyptAir hijacker Seif Eldin Mustafa is seen going through security at Borg El Arab Airport in Alexandria, Egypt, before boarding the flight. The man had a “suicide vest” that contained no explosives -- just mobile phone cases made to look like a suicide belt, according to the Cyprus Foreign Ministry.
По сообщению авиакомпании EgyptAir, большинство пассажиров захваченного самолета A320, приземлившегося в аэропорту кипрской Ларнаки, освобождены. На борту лайнера остаются четверо пассажиров-иностранцев и экипаж. Ранее сообщалось, что из захваченного лайнера, в котором в общей сложности находились 81 пассажир и 7 членов экипажа, выпустили детей и женщин.
Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades has said that the hijacking of an EgyptAir plane that landed at Larnaca airport was not linked to terrorism. Unconfirmed reports have suggested the lone hijacker wanted to talk to his estranged wife in Cyprus. But others say he is demanding the release of female prisoners in Egypt. When asked to confirm whether the incident was over a woman, Mr Anastasiades laughed and said: "Always there is a woman involved."
