💨 Abstract

A Canadian man, Shaheer Cassim, has been charged with hijacking and terrorism-related offenses after seizing control of a small plane. Cassim, motivated by ideological beliefs, flew from Victoria to Vancouver, prompting a security scare and the deployment of fighter jets. His social media posts suggest motivations related to climate change and religious beliefs. Cassim had previously worked as a pilot.
