Oct 4 (Reuters) – Australian police said on Sunday that authorities there were investigating the “links to Australia” of a flydubai co-pilot who attacked the captain on a flight to Tel Aviv.
The co-pilot of the flydubai flight 1073, which was bound for Israel from Dubai, attacked the pilot with an emergency crash axe, the United Arab Emirates prosecutor general said on Saturday, calling the incident a “terrorist attack”.
The co-pilot of the flydubai jet was identified as Hammam al-Hammami, an Omani national, two sources with knowledge of the investigation told Reuters.
