diverted to Cyprus, leaves the plane before surrendering to security
forces. |
The
hijacker, who is in custody after surrendering to police following a
six-hour stand-off at Larnaca airport, had claimed to be wearing an
explosives belt, Egyptian officials said.
Counter-terrorism police
frisked the hijacker on the tarmac then interrogated him for more than
an hour before boarding the plane and searching it with sniffer dogs.
