This is the moment when one of the passengers believed to have been held hostage on the EgyptAir plane forced to land in Cyprus, takes a grinning selfie with the hijacker (left). The hijacker, identified as Seif El Din Mustafa, is seen wearing his 'suicide belt', as an unknown man standing next to him on the plane pulls a silly face while taking a picture. El Din Mustafa hijacked the domestic EgyptAir jet after taking off from Alexandria and forcing it to re-route to Cyprus' Larnaca airport, where he has taken several passengers and crew hostage and demanded to see his Cypriot
ex-wife. A picture from the tarmac shows the moment the attacker hands over a four-page letter intended for his ex-wife, as a female airport official stands with her head in her hands(inset). The hostage situation on the tarmac came to a dramatic end just before 1pm as one of the pilots was seen struggling with someone inside cockpit before jumping out of a window, moments before authorities arrested El Din Mustafa(right)
