Hijacking in order to steal cargo. As far as I know cargo manifest has not been released to the public and there are question marks as to whether it was carrying more cargo weight than might be considered normal (justification for this is that some passengers were only accepted on a standby basis although the flight was nowhere near full). That has led to speculation in some parts that it might have been carrying gold bullion.
