Kerim Chatty (born 15 January 1973) is a Swedish man who was suspected of attempted hijacking of an aircraft in 2002. He was subsequently released from police custody and the preliminary inquiry regarding attempted hijacking was dropped. Chatty himself has stated that he does not support terrorism and that the September 11, 2001, attacks were a "sin". His friends called the allegations "ridiculous" and dismissed claims that Kassir had made him convert to Islam. Chatty denied the charges of attempted hijacking and said that he had simply "forgotten" that he had a pistol in the bag.
