‘KILL ME!’: Flydubai Co-Pilot’s AXE ATTACK On Captain, ‘FULL PLAN’ To Hijack Plane Revealed

The United Arab Emirates has formally described the dramatic incident aboard a flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv as a terrorist act. The UAE Prosecutor General says the co-pilot of Flight FZ1073 attacked the captain with a crash axe inside the cockpit and attempted to take control of the aircraft, potentially putting all 174 people on board in danger. The aircraft reportedly plunged more than 16,000 feet during the confrontation before the wounded captain managed to open the cockpit door. Passengers and crew then intervened, while two off-duty pilots travelling as passengers helped regain control of the aircraft. The Boeing 737 was diverted to Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, where it landed safely. The incident had triggered the 7500 emergency code for unlawful interference, prompting Israel to scramble fighter aircraft. The suspect, reported to be an Omani national, was arrested and transferred to UAE custody. Investigators are examining possible motives, connections to others and physical and digital evidence. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the suspect appeared to have undergone Islamist radicalisation, but stressed that it was too early to establish any connection to Iran. The UAE's formal finding establishes how authorities believe the attack unfolded, but the wider investigation into the suspect's motives and possible connections is still continuing.
