It appears that everybody and his dog is now claiming that a man with a suicide vest who hijacked a plane across the Med, isn't actually a terrorist. :
The Egyptian Foreign Ministry said in a statement: 'He's not a terrorist, he's an idiot. Terrorists are crazy but they aren't stupid. This guy is.
EgyptAir hijack: Larnaca hijacking 'not terrorism' 

Err, sorry to mention this, but he is a terrorist, simply because he terrorised 72 people to do as he demanded or he would kill them all. But it appears that in Europe, so scared have they become of terrorists that we can no longer refer to them as such.  Well the bBC does say that it is a loaded term. Unlike the idiots who unload their weapons or suicide bombs in which to get their way.

Well its all over, with the hijacker handing himself over to the Police, thankfully with nobody getting hurt.
