This Hijacked Plane in Lanarka, Cyrpus

[John Arne]

Some loose canon has hijacked a domestic flight in Egypt and had the pilot divert to Lanarka, Cyprus.

The plane has been sat in the concrete at Lanarka airport for some time now. Most passengers have been released, with 3 passengers and 5 crew still being held hostage.

Apparently the psycho has a suicide vest on. Some Cypriot sources suggesting the bloke had an argument with his missus and has just gone off on one, a la Falling Down.

Apparently it's Larnarka, not Lanarka. Balls.

North Africa isn't that safe I reckon.

First he wanted political asylum, now he wants prisoners released in Egypt (presumably from the MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD). Just blow it all to hell mate.

That's it over, he's been arrested. Great thread.

He's had a barney with the missus so he's nicked a plane? :D

The structure of that headline is awful, what's the point of a tabloid if you can't even do a proper headline?

Aberdeen oil workers :cool:

Keen to get close to potential suicide bombers to get away from the monotony of the oil and gas industry.
