and the airport has been closed and all flights have been diverted and zaina is here from the greek citynd terrorism or not whether it's a domestic that has got out of hand in the worst possible way, the authorities have to deal with what they see and what they are being told and they are being told he hijacked the plane and has an explosive device on his person at the tim time. >> reporter: yes, hijacker still inside the plane with a number of passengers. what we understand from initial reports from the pilot is that this hijacker threatened to blowup the plane, told the pilot he had a suicide vest on and that is why the pilot diverted the plane to larnika and took off from alexandria in egypt and flying to cairo and then diverted and some officials quoted in the media as saying they doubt that explosives are on board and authorities also saying that they cannot confirm what the hijacker has own board, what kind of explosives and if he indeed has any on board but undoubtedly a very dangerous situation. this man now demanding political asylum. what we understand from the cyprus president
