Al Qaeda Issues Horror Call for Attacks on US and Israeli Flights After FlyDubai ‘Hijack Attempt’
The 11th issue of Al-Bayan was circulated on Telegram as investigators examined whether the co-pilot was indoctrinated into al-Qaeda ideology.
- An Al-Qaeda-linked newsletter, Al-Bayan, called for copycat attacks against American and Israeli airliners, citing the September 11, 2001, attacks and the September 30 hijacking attempt aboard a FlyDubai flight bound for Tel Aviv.
- Following the September 30 FlyDubai flight FZ1073 event, Copilot Hamam al-Hammami allegedly attacked Captain Smit Machchhar with a cockpit axe, prompting the United Arab Emirates prosecutor general to formally designate it an attempted terrorist attack.
- The publication urged readers to target "planes carrying Zionists, Americans and all the other infidels," claiming the "empire of evil America will end," according to specialist monitoring group Terrogence, which identifies Al-Bayan as al-Qaeda-affiliated.
- Investigators in Israel and the Gulf are examining whether Al-Hammami acted alone, particularly after reports emerged that he was removed from a previous airline job last year due to extremist view concerns.
- Telegram channels circulated the latest Al-Bayan issue on Friday and Saturday, though The Express noted the full text has not been independently verified, limiting assessment of the publication's full scope.
