The man allegedly pulled out a gun and tried to hijack the plane shortly after takeoff. After the aircraft made an emergency landing, military commandos shot and killed him.
The FBI says it is giving up on the D.B. Cooper investigation, 45 years after the mysterious hijacker parachuted into the night with $200,000 in a briefcase, becoming an instant folk figure.
The hijack suspect, identified as Egyptian national Seif Eldin Mustafa, will be held by police for eight days in Cyprus. And a British man explains why he wanted a photo of himself with the suspect.
