A pair of bizarre photographs have been widely circulated online which appear to show the alleged EgyptAir hijacker, Seif Eldin Mustafa, posing for pictures with passengers in what is believed to have been a fake suicide belt.


One image shows the bespectacled Egyptian standing inside the cabin beside the plane door with an unidentified taller man who is grinning for the camera. Part of the pretend bomb Mustafa is alleged to have mocked up and tied around his waist is clearly visible through his open shirt. It is unclear who took the shot, which is believed to have been shown on Egyptian television.

In a second photograph, taken in the same location but showing part of what appears to be a different man beside him, Mustafa is holding up a pair of red and white wires taped together that seem to be connected to the pretend bomb belt, which itself has thick blue wires protruding from the top.


Internet users reacted with astonishment to the images which suggest passengers may have been taking turns for snaps with him. One wrote on Twitter: “Not sure who was crazier – The plane hijacker himself, or the dude who took a selfie with the hijacker.”


Another wrote: “How was your flight? It got hijacked. What? Yeah, got a selfie with the freak. Why? Because its 2016”.
