A penalty of life imprisonment shall be imposed on anyone who attacks an aircraft or a ship with the intention of capturing it or seizing all or part of the goods transported thereon, or with the intention of harming one or more persons onboard thereof, or in order to unwarrantably change its direction. The same penalty shall be imposed if the act is committed by a person who is onboard the aircraft or ship. If the perpetrator, immediately after the perpetrator captures the aircraft or ship, without causing damage thereto or to the goods transported thereon, or harm to any of the persons on board, returns such aircraft or ship to its lawful pilot or captain or to any individual who has legal title to take possession thereof, the penalty to be imposed shall be temporary imprisonment for a period not exceeding (5) five years.
