UAE Attorney-General says flydubai co-pilot planned suicide attack on Tel Aviv airport

A 29-year-old co-pilot of flydubai allegedly plotted a terrorist attack during a flight. The plan involved seizing control of the aircraft and crashing it into Ben Gurion Airport. His radicalization began in 2017 while studying in Australia, where he was influenced by extremist ideologies. After attacking the captain with an axe, he was subdued by crew and passengers.
