Alleged plane hijacker makes first court appearance in Richmond
The man accused of hijacking a plane and triggering a security scare at Vancouver International Airport last week appeared briefly in court Tuesday morning, where his legal counsel requested and was granted an adjournment to next week to give them time to prepare a bail application. Shareer Cassim is charged with one count of hijacking and one count of damaging or interfering with a navigation system. CBC’s Karen Larsen reports.
