EgyptAir Hijack, Hijacker releases most passengers

The hijacker of a domestic EgyptAir flight MS181 has released the majority of those on board, except four foreigners and seven crew.
The flight from Burg Al-Arab airport to Cairo landed in Larnaca, Cyprus. The Airbus 320 was carrying 81 passengers and seven crew members, the Egyptian Civil Aviation Ministry said in a statement.
Reports from Cypriot media suggest there is just one hijacker, who claims he was wearing a suicide belt, was motivated by “personal reasons” and may be seeking asylum.
Negotiations are still ongoing to secure the release of remaining hostages according to EgyptAir.
