(The Post Millennial)—A man charged with hijacking a light aircraft in British Columbia earlier this week declared himself a “messenger of Allah” sent to warn the world about climate change just one day before the hijacking, according to his social media posts.
Shaheer Cassim, 39, is now facing terrorism-related hijacking charges after allegedly seizing a small plane at Victoria International Airport and flying it to Vancouver on Tuesday.
Royal Canadian Mounted Police said the suspect had an “ideological motive” and threatened a flight instructor before taking control of the aircraft. NORAD scrambled F-15 fighter jets in response to the incident, which ended without injury when the plane landed safely at Vancouver International Airport.
Images of the arrest taken on YVR’s north runway show a man matching the appearance of Cassim, who is a former commercial pilot and known climate activist.
A day before the flight, Cassim posted on Facebook that he was the “messiah sent to save humanity from climate change and usher in an era of world peace.”
