The Air France Boeing 727 was hijacked by a female passenger. She wanted to protest against the release of the film The Mad Adventures of Rabbi Jacob which was being promoted by her husband, Georges Cravenne and which she considered "anti-Palestinian".
After the release of all passengers, the plane was stormed and the hijacker was shot and killed.
