Authorities in Cyprus have arrested a man who threatened an EgyptAir flight on Tuesday, and nobody was hurt. The passenger, Seif El Din Mustafa, who boarded in Alexandria, Egypt, told crew members he was wearing an explosive belt and demanded that the crew divert the Cairo-bound A320 to land in Cyprus. Mustafa was “unstable,” Cyprus official Homer Mavrommatis told CNN. “He kept on changing his mind and asking for different things.” His motivation seems to not have been political, but may have been related to his ex-wife.
