After a morning of tension, the hijacker was seen walking down aircraft steps at Larnaca airport with his hands raised.
经过一早上的紧张对峙后,劫机者在拉纳卡机场高举双手走下飞机。
Some reports said the Egyptian man - named by Cypriot officials as Seif Eldin Mustafa - wanted to talk to his estranged Cypriot wife who lives on the Mediterranean island, while others said he was seeking the release of female prisoners in Egypt.
一些报道称这名由塞浦路斯官方确认名叫易卜拉欣·萨马哈的埃及男人想要和他分居许久的妻子对话,他的妻子住在地中海的一个岛上,而另外有报道称该男子想要释放一名埃及女性囚犯。
The hijacker’s surrender came shortly after several people were seen fleeing the aircraft. One - apparently a crew member - escaped by climbing out of the aircraft’s cockpit window.
