The man identified as the hijacker of EgyptAir flight 181, Ibrahim Samaha, a professor of veterinary medicine, has spoken out to say the reports are wrong and he was one of the passengers, now freed. Earlier, Samaha was wrongly accused as the hijacker demanding handover of a letter to his ex-wife as well as a political asylum. No names of the hijacker were given of in the news conference held by Egypt minister of aviation, despite Egyptian TV earlier releasing a name which is not correct. On Monday morning the Egyptian airline EgyptAir announced that a flight - Airbus 320- from Alexandria to Cairo has been hijacked and landed in Cyprus with 81 passengers on board. source: CNN, Sky news, BBC
