A man in a suicide bomb vest hijacked an EgyptAir plane Tuesday flying from Alexandria to Cairo with over 60 people on board. The hijacker forced the plane to land in Cyprus, and during initial negotiations, released all on board except the crew and four foreign nationals.
The man, identified as Seif El Din Mustafa, has surrendered to police and been captured, with his motives muddled since he wasn’t consistent with his demands during negotiations. But officials are leaning towards the theory that he was a lonely man trying to get back with his ex-wife.
