a domestic Egyptair flight from Cairo to Alexandria has been hijacked and diverted to Larnaca, Cyprus where it has landed. the hijackers have released women and children but they are still holding 59 male passengers, one of the hijackers has claimed to be wearing a suicide vest.
let’s hope and pray that this hijacking comes to peaceful end without any bloodshed. aameen.
since it’s a developing story, the details are sketchy regarding the identity of the hijackers or their demands. it’s also not known how they got the arms and ammunition onboard the aircraft in spite of the highest level of alert after recent terrorist attacks.
a desirable ending. thanks God. all passengers and crew released unharmed and the hijacker arrested is the best ending of a frightful hijacking.
it's reported that he seems to have done this because he had issues with his ex-wife. he probably had no explosives on him. he had gathered the passports from ALL the passengers then he released ALL women N children then later released ALL the Egyptian men.
for a peaceful ending. Kind of a desperate thing to do though!
