EgyptAir hijack

Who is following this news? EgyptAir Flight MS181 was taken over after a passenger claimed to be wearing a suicide explosive belt. Most of the passengers and crew who were on board the hijacked Egyptian plane have been reported freed. Egypt's civil aviation minister told a news conference that seven people remained on board the jet.

 Sherif Fathy identified them as the pilot, the co-pilot, a female stewardess, a security officer and three passengers whose nationalities he refused to divulge.

He said negotiations with the hijacker - who had made no specific demands - were continuing.
