‘Best selfie ever’ with hijacker not actually a selfie

The British passenger who posed for a photo with his alleged captor on the hijacked Egyptian plane said it has to be “the best selfie ever”.

The plane was forced to divert to Cyprus due to a man wearing a fake suicide belt.

The photograph, widely shared on Twitter, shows a man — Ben Innes — with a broad smile, standing next to a man who has what looks like an explosives belt around his waist.
