UAE: Fly Dubai co-pilot planned attack at Ben Gurion
The investigations of the UAE Public Prosecutor's Office regarding the incident involving the Fly Dubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv have been published. They revealed that the 29-year-old Omani co-pilot planned to carry out a terrorist attack using the aircraft. The investigation indicated that he attempted to take control of the plane with the intent of executing a suicide operation targeting the Ben Gurion Airport building in Tel Aviv, aiming to cause maximum casualties. It was also revealed that he was influenced by extremist ideas since 2017, during his studies in Australia. While the co-pilot was preparing his plan, the pilot was attacked mid-flight with an emergency axe, but crew members and passengers were able to neutralize him, leading to a safe landing in Tareq Airport in Saudi Arabia. The accused has confessed alone, and the Public Prosecutor’s Office is currently conducting extensive investigations to uncover any accomplices or additional connections.
