Hijacked Egyptian plane lands in Cyprus; bomb suspected on board

NICOSIA, Cyprus — An EgyptAir plane was hijacked on Tuesday while flying from the Egyptian Mediterranean coastal city of Alexandria to the capital, Cairo, and later landed in Cyprus where some of the women and children were allowed to get off the aircraft, according to Egyptian and Cypriot officials. The Airbus flight number MS181 had 81 passengers on board and was flying on a regular route when the hijacking took place, the Egyptians said. It was not immediately clear if one or more hijackers were involved. Details were sketchy and the motives and identities of the hijacker or hjackers were also not known. Shortly after, the plane landed at the airport in the Cypriot coastal city of Larnaca, Cypriot officials said,

A second Cypriot official said there ―seems like there‘s more than one hijacker.‖ He said there have been no demands made so far other than that police vehicles move away from the aircraft. All the officials in Egypt and Cyprus spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media. The hijacking, however, will most likely bring to the fore again the question of security at Egyptian airports, five months after a Russian aircraft crashed over Egypt‘s Sinai Peninsula minutes after it took off from Egypt‘s Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh. All 224 people on board were killed in the crash. Russia later said an explosive device brought down the aircraft and the extremist Islamic State group said it downed the plane.

http://www.cnbc.com/ EgyptAir siege ends as hijacker is arrested The alleged hijacker of an EgyptAir plane has been arrested after hours of negotiations, according to Cypriot police, and has emerged from the grounded plane with his hands up. The man – said to be in an "unstable psychological state" and believed by authorities to be Egyptian – had held a number of hostages but the Cypriot authorities said the incident was "now over.― There were several conflicting reports, some of which NBC News is unable to confirm, on the incident in Larnaca airport where the plane was diverted from its Alexandria-Cairo flight earlier in the morning. Ahead of his surrender and arrest, the lone alleged hijacker had released most of the passengers and crew with only three passengers, the pilot, co-pilot and three cabin crew still on board at the end of the siege. The incident was not believed to be terror-related and the alleged hijacker had asked to speak to a person, believed to be his ex-wife, who lives in Cyprus.

At first media reports suggested that the hijacking could have been motivated by a "personal" matter involving a woman, a high-level source told NBC News. However, after reports that the man was demanding the release of female Egyptian hostages, the underlying motives of the hostage-taker became more unclear. Cyprus' foreign ministry said that during negotiations with the alleged hijacker, he appeared to be "unstable," Reuters reported. "What we have clarified...is that it's not about terrorism. It appears to be a person who is unstable, in an unstable psychological state and the issue is being handled accordingly," foreign ministry official Alexandros Zenon said ahead of the end of the seige. Despite the confused picture of the incident, Cyprus's president Nicos Anastasiades told reporters Monday that the event was not being treated as terrorism-related. Egyptian foreign ministry officials were also quoted as saying that the hijacker was an "idiot" rather than a terrorist, but this was later denied by the ministry. There were a reported 55 passengers and crew on the plane including 10 Americans, a number of Britons and one Irish passenger, according to airport security. Images from the airport showed many passengers calmly disembarking the aircraft with their luggage.
