Cypriot ex-wife of EgyptAir hijacker says he is 'extremely dangerous'

Nicosia: The Cypriot ex-wife of an Egyptian man who authorities say admitted to hijacking a domestic EgyptAir flight and threatened to blow it up with a fake suicide belt has said that her former husband is an “extremely dangerous man”.  Marina Paraschou said her 59-year-old former husband Seif Eddin Mustafa used drugs, terrorised his family and beat her and their children.

In an interview published on Wednesday in leading Cypriot daily Phileleftheros, Paraschou said Mustafa never asked to speak to her and police only asked her to identify his voice. Paraschou said that Mustafa was a “fanatical” Palestine Liberation Organization supporter who bragged about participating in the killing of three Israeli soldiers and was jailed for four years in Syria.
