Egyptair flight hijacked by some lad with explosives belt. Flight diverted to Cyprus. No demands made yet
EgyptAir hijack: plane from Alexandria to Cairo lands in Cyprus
He’s let all the Egyptians off. Keeping the crew and a handful of foreigners hostage now.
There is one Irish guy among the hostages and a few Brits and an Italian.
Being reported the hijacker is an Egyptian national seeking asylum in Cyprus.
Not an ISIS attack
This weeks episode is fairly shit.
Hopefully next weeks is better.
Ye hijackings are so 80s
Heard on the radio as I was getting out of the car that the hijacker insisting that a letter be delivered to his ex-wife.
The Cyprus Broadcasting Service, the island’s public TV and radio provider, has said it is believed the hijacker might have personal rather than political motives.
He has an ex-wife in Cyprus, it said, reporting that witnesses said the man threw a letter from the plane in Larnaca, written in Arabic, asking that it be delivered to his ex-wife, who is a Cypriot.
This is all, it needs to be stressed, still unconfirmed.
In these dangerous times, it’s good to see the return of the gentleman bomber.

If Hollywood has taught us anything it’s that women are always looking for grand gestures of romance. If hi-jacking a plane can’t win her back nothing will.

Officials at Egypt’s ministry of foreign affairs responded to reports that the hijacker’s motives are personal, saying they were aware of the reports that he is seeking asylum and discussing his ex wife. “He’s not a terrorist, he’s an idiot. Terrorists are crazy but they aren’t stupid. This guy is,” they said.
Didn’t stop him waltzing through an Egyptian airport with a bomb belt a few months after a plane was blown up coming from there
