Seif Eldin Mustafa, an Egyptian caused global panic today when he hijacked a domestic flight and forced it to land in Cyprus. The Egyptair plane left Larnaca at 22:05 local time (19:05 GMT) bound for Cairo, its original destination. It has now appeared he carried out the act with fake suicide belt. His bluff however convinced the pilot and officials who for several hours thought he was dangerous.
