MEXICO CITY (CNN) -- A 44-year-old Bolivian drug addict and alcoholic who describes himself as a church minister was responsible for the brief hijacking Wednesday of a commercial jetliner, a Mexican official said.

"He said that because of that divine reference he wanted to alert Mexico City of an earthquake," Garcia told reporters.
