According to an alert from Reuters, the hijack took place when the pilot of the plane was threatened by a passenger who appeared to have a suicide bomb belt, according to Egypt’s aviation ministry.
The hijacker is said to want a letter delivered to his ex-wife. The Egyptian Foreign Ministry has said: "He is not a terrorist, he’s an idiot. Terrorists are crazy, but they are not stupid."
