Man accused of kidnapping small plane, making combat planes stir in Vancouver:

A Canadian man has been accused of kidnaping a small plane After causing a safety scare at Vancouver airport this week.

Police mounted in Real Canadian said Thursday that Shaheer Cassim, 39, was accused of kidnapping, constituting terrorism, during the incident on Tuesday that he saw the Aerospace Defense Command of North America revolting the F-15 combat planes before the plane landed safely.

The RCMP said it took control of a Cessna 172 at Victoria International Airport on Vancouver Island threatening a flight instructor, before flying to about 40 miles to Vancouver.

In a recording of the air traffic control published in Liveatc.net, an official can be heard indicating: “We have an incident just above our airspace here, a 172 kidnapped,” said Vancouver Sun.

The images published by the CBC public broadcaster and the video shared online showed the small white Cessna surrounded by security vehicles on a track after landing in Vancouver.

“The researchers have determined that the suspect acted with an ideological reason to interrupt airspace,” Sergeant. Tammy Lobb said in a statement.

A man with the same name and that resembles Cassim published on social networks that he was a “Messenger of Allah” and a “Messiah” sent to save the humanity of climate change.

He said: “Angel Gabriel appeared before me and gave me a message from Allah.”

Cassim’s last post warns about “abrupt and renewed global warming” that will make humans extinguish in a few years.

Cassim also said in the publication that he is “Sam Carana”, who directs the blog “Arctic News” that describes himself as a place where taxpayers “share a deep concern about the way in which climate change develops in the Arctic and the threat that this raises for the world in general.”

His Facebook profile says he was used from 2008 to 2010 by the now missing KD Air, a small airline based on the island of Vancouver.

The former owners of the airline “very surprised”

The former owners of the airline, Diana and Lars Banke, said in an interview on Wednesday that Cassim was one of the smartest and best pilots with whom he has worked, calling him a quick apprentice that was very intelligent.

But Lars Banke said Cassim left the airline after “getting bored” and then went to the Medicine School. He also said that Cassim believed that the world was coming to an end.

Diana Banke said she was “very surprised” when he heard Cassim’s positions, saying that he was quite young when he worked for them and that he was “like a child.”

Lars Banke said he recalled that Cassim was somewhat interested in environmentalism, but that he was not aware of any religious beliefs.

“Religion never spoke with us,” said Diana Banke.

“I am really surprised that I would have done something like this,” he added.

In 2012, Cassim held a press conference before going to a bicycle ride through the country to raise awareness about global warming.

The British Columbia Prime Minister David Eby said when asked about the incident on Thursday that it was a “strange moment”, and the fact that he ended without a more significant interruption at the airport is a “testimony” of the ability of the responders who spoke to the suspect.

Vancouver International Airport said in a statement that nine incident were diverted during the incident with a high temporal for the operations ordered at the airport of the west coast. Flights connected to ground for 39 minutes.

The head of airport communications, Stephen Smart, told CBC that “it could have lasted much more.”
