The hijacking of a charter plane at a Jamaican airport was the act of a local man who wanted to be flown to Cuba and was not an act of terrorism, a top official said Monday.
A hostage-taker commandeered a CanJet flight at Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay, Jamaica.

"The hijacking is that from a mentally challenged youngster and not anything that would be of concern in terms of an international incident," said Jamaica's Information Minister Daryl Vaz. "Thank God, there are no injuries in terms of the passengers."
