Cyprus agrees to extradite EgyptAir hijacker
Cyprus said on Thursday that it had approved a request from Cairo to extradite the man accused of hijacking an EgyptAir plane and diverting it to the Mediterranean island.
Nicosia : Cyprus said on Thursday that it had approved a request from Cairo to extradite the man accused of hijacking an EgyptAir plane and diverting it to the Mediterranean island. Egyptian Seif al-Din Mohamed Mostafa, 58, is accused of using a fake suicide belt to seize the Alexandria-to-Cairo flight on March 29 and force it to land in Cyprus.
Cypriot government officials said that a legal process would now begin to send home the 58-year-old, who is in police custody on the island. "Instructions were given for the relevant procedures to begin," a government official told AFP. Nicosia is expected to try to fast-track the extradition process which could take several weeks. The suspect is expected to remain in custody until his extradition papers are ready.
