Ex-wife of EgyptAir hijacker: He bragged of killing Israeli soldiers

The former wife of the man who hijacked an Egyptian plane in order to see her says he is extremely dangerous and even bragged of killing three Israeli soldiers, the Guardian reports.

Seif Eldin Mustafa, 59, pretended to have a bomb belt when he commandeered a plane full of passengers and diverted it to Cyprus on Tuesday in order to see Marina Paraschou, who divorced him in 1990.

Paraschou tells the Guardian that Mustafa is a “fanatical” PLO supporter who was jailed for four years in Syria. She says that he “terrorized his family” and assaulted her and their four children.
