The image shows the hijacker wearing what is thought to be a fake suicide belt.

A taller man, who the Daily Mail reports is British man Ben Innes, stands next to him smiling.

The image has gone viral on social media, with people astonished at the absurdity.

One person on Twitter wrote: "How was your flight? It got hijacked. What? Yeah, got a selfie with the freak. Why? Because its 2016."
