Public Prosecutor: Suspect’s motives in Flydubai incident trace back to 2017 in Australia
The UAE Public Prosecutor's report reveals that the flight attendant on Fly Dubai flight FZ1073, aged 29, began veering toward extremism and terrorism as early as 2017 during his studies in Australia. The suspect, influenced by extremist ideas and the 9/11 attacks, had planned to carry out a terrorist attack using the aircraft with the goal of causing significant human casualties at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv. The attacker was stopped during an attempt to assault the pilot with an emergency axe; the passenger was subdued, and the other passengers were saved, with the plane safely landing in Tabuk. Investigations are ongoing to determine whether there are additional partners or connections.
