The alleged hijacker demanded to see his ex-wife as soon as the plane landed in Cyprus
An Egyptian man accused of hijacking and forcing a plane to land in Cyprus on Tuesday using a fake suicide belt has appeared in court in Cyprus.
The Larnaca court ordered an eight-day detention for Seif Eldin Mustafa.
Possible charges include air piracy, kidnapping and threatening behaviour.
He did not speak, but gave a victory sign as he was driven away by police. Cypriot authorities have described him as "psychologically unstable", saying the incident was not terrorism-related.
