UAE Attorney General Reports on Flydubai Probe
Investigations conducted by the Public Prosecution in the UAE have revealed an attempt by the assistant pilot of Fly Dubai, an Omani national, to carry out a terrorist attack using the same aircraft, aiming to cause significant damage at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv. The defendant, 29 years old, adopted extremist ideas starting in 2017 during his studies in Australia. His plan was linked to executing a suicide operation similar to the September 11 attacks. During the flight on September 30, 2026, the defendant attacked the pilot at the emergency station and assaulted him with an axe. However, passengers and fellow pilots managed to regain control of the situation and safely diverted the aircraft to Tabuk Airport in Saudi Arabia. The defendant's confessions confirmed that he acted alone. Investigations are ongoing to determine if there are any partners or other connections, while evidence suggests that the terrorist threat was premeditated, despite no prior indicators appearing in the recruitment procedures.
