Meanings of say the hijacker in anglès

One of the pirates said the hijackers had left the ship, which had now set sail.

He said the hijackers had reiterated their demand for the plane to be refuelled to fly to Paris.

The ministry, whose security forces have been fighting Muslim fundamentalists for more than four years, said the hijacker's motives were unknown.

Officials said the hijackers' aim was to land the plane in the pirate-infested town of Lasqoray and kidnap two German passengers.

They weren't explosives, but mobile phone covers. Egyptian Prime Minister Sherif Ismail said the hijacker would be questioned to ascertain his motives.

Local newspaper websites said the hijackers had threatened to blow the plane up unless they were allowed to speak to President Felipe Calderon.

Cypriot Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides said the hijacker had threatened to blow himself up and demanded that the aircraft be refueled and head to Istanbul.
