Filmed El Al Jet Days After Oct. 7: What We Know About Flydubai Suspect and His Troub
Authorities are investigating possible extremist ties after posts linked to the suspect showed al-Qaeda figures and cockpit footage, CNN reported.
- On Wednesday, September 30, Flydubai flight FZ1073 from Dubai to Tel Aviv made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia; roughly nine hours later, posts appeared on a LinkedIn profile bearing pilot Hamam al-Hammami's name.
- Authorities are investigating Omani co-pilot Hamam al-Hammami, who was previously removed from flying duties at Oman Air after officials discovered 'extremist material' in his possession in 2024. Standard security screening failed to identify signs of radicalization.
- Videos linked to the suspect showed Boeing 737 MAX cockpits and images of former Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri alongside Jordanian doctor Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi, while footage also captured Israeli aircraft at Dubai International Airport.
- The UAE prosecutor general described the incident as an attempted 'terrorist' attack, while Israeli security officials are examining whether the pilot intended to model his actions on the September 11, 2001, attacks in the United States.
- Authorities have not publicly established a direct organizational connection between Al-Hammami and Al-Qaeda, though the investigation remains in its early stages as officials assess whether potential warning signs were missed.
