UAE AG: Flight Attendant Planned Terror Attack
Emirati investigations have revealed that the co-pilot on a Fly Dubai aircraft planned to carry out a terrorist attack during a flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv. He intended to use the emergency axe to attack the pilot and attempt to take control of the aircraft's controls. However, he was subdued by the passengers and the Indian pilot. The attacker, believed to be Omani and named Hamam Al-Humami, had previously been stripped of his flying privileges by Omani authorities due to security concerns and allegations of holding extremist ideas. Additionally, extremist materials were found in his possession during training. The incident occurred onboard the plane, which was carrying 172 passengers, including 166 Israelis. The aircraft made an emergency landing at Tulkarm Airport in Saudi Arabia, where the attacker attempted to kill the pilot. The pilot managed to open the door, and passengers succeeded in overpowering the attacker. Israeli authorities described the incident as an attempted jihadist terrorist attack. Emirati authorities continue their investigation to uncover the motives and links involved, but as of now, they have not announced the attacker’s identity or the final reasons behind the attempt.
