Australia investigates Omani first officer
An Australian investigation has been opened into the connections of Omani co-pilot Hmam Alhamami in Australia, following revelations about his stay and studies there for several years prior to the incident involving an attempt to hijack a Fly Dubai plane en route from Dubai to Tel Aviv. Alhamami studied in Australia between 2015 and 2017, using a student visa that was canceled in 2019 due to him not being enrolled in an educational institution. The investigation is focusing on the possibility that he was exposed to ideological radicalization while in the country, although there is currently no evidence to support this. The incident occurred on September 30th, when Alhamami attempted to seize control of the aircraft using an axe, before being subdued and forced to make an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia, where he was detained. Emirati authorities describe the incident as an attempt of a terrorist act, and an investigation is underway into his motives and potential connections. Meanwhile, reports have surfaced about his past, including training at airline companies and the existence of provocative content posted through his social media accounts.
