埃及一架客機遭劫持 被迫降落塞浦路斯

An Egyptian passenger plane, EgyptAir MS181, has made an emergency landing on Cyprus after being hijacked by a man wearing a suicide vest.

近日，在被一個身穿自殺式炸彈背心的男人劫持之後，埃及航空公司一家航班號爲MS181的埃及客機緊急迫降在塞浦路斯。

The hijacking of the flight which was en-route from Alexandria to Cairo and carrying 82 passengers and a crew of 7, was confirmed by EgyptAir on Twitter at 7.40am GMT.

埃及航空公司於當地時間7點40分在Twitter上證實，這架被劫持的飛機的航線是從亞歷山大港飛往首都開羅，飛機上共搭載82名乘客及7名機組成員。

A Cypriot government official said that there are suspicions of a bomb on board.

一名塞浦路斯政府官員稱飛機上疑似有炸彈。

Former European Commissioner for Education, Androulla Vassiliou, tweeted that hijackers have demanded that authorities leave runway 'in order to release women and children passengers'.

前歐洲教育署委員安德魯拉·瓦西利烏髮布推文稱，劫機者要求當地政府人員離開飛機跑道，這樣他纔會釋放機上的婦女和兒童乘客。

As of 4 pm Tuesday, most passengers were released and only crew members and four foreigners remain on the plane.

截至北京時間29日下午4點，除機組成員和4名非埃及旅客外的乘客均已被釋放。
