'It has to be the best selfie ever': Brit explains why he posed for photo with EgyptAir hijacker

By now, you might have seen the photo doing the rounds of the British man who posed for a photo with the EgyptAir hijacker.

The pic, taken by a flight attendant, shows Ben Innes, who is originally from Leeds but lives in Aberdeen, standing next to Seif Eldin Mustafa who is wearing what turned out to be a fake explosive belt.

Innes was one of three passengers and four crew members held hostage by Mustafa after he hijacked the flight bound for Cairo from Alexandria, forcing it to land at Larnaca Airport in Cyprus. He was later arrested and is due in court later today.
