The man who hijacked an Ethiopian Airlines flight en route to Rome Monday was the co-pilot, according to the Geneva airport where the plane was forced to land.

The co-pilot said he had seized his chance when the pilot went to the bathroom, Bertrand Staempfli, the airport spokesman, told reporters.

"He said he felt threatened in his country and wants to seek asylum in Switzerland," he said.
