UAE Public Prosecution investigates Flydubai incident
The UAE Public Prosecution has revealed that the 29-year-old assistant to the captain of a Fly Dubai aircraft devised a terrorist plot aimed at taking control of the plane and using it in a suicide attack at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv during a flight scheduled for September 2026. It was found that the defendant was influenced by extremist ideas starting in 2017 while studying in Australia, and this evolved into planning an operation similar to the September 11 attacks, leveraging his aviation expertise to carry out the assault. During the incident, the defendant attacked the pilot with a hammer and continued the assault for an extended period before the crew and passengers intervened, managing to regain control of the situation and safely landing the plane in Saudi Arabia. Investigations are still ongoing to determine if there are any accomplices or other connections, while examinations showed no prior indications of his terrorist intentions during the recruitment process.
