Narrative:
A lone hijacker armed with a fake pistol and a gasoline bomb hijacked a domestic Iran Air flight bound for Tehran from Shiraz. The hijacker, who demanded to be taken to France, attempted to start a fire on the Fokker 100 aircraft but was quickly overpowered by in-flight security officers. The plane was diverted to the airport at Isfahan, where the hijacker was handed over to authorities.
