In a shocking development, the Omani co-pilot, accused of attacking Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar aboard a Flydubai flight bound for Tel Aviv, was on Saturday identified as Hamam Alhamami, according to Al Arabiya English sources.The report by Al Arabiya English, citing sources, said that the Omani co-pilot had previously been barred from flying in Oman over concerns about extremist views, influenced during an earlier stay in Syria.
FlyDubai co-pilot was reportedly fired from Oman Air job for 'extremist views'
Days after a FlyDubai co-pilot made a violent attempt to crash the passenger aircraft and was subdued by passengers and other crew members, questions about his motive continued to swirl. The flight Wednesday from Dubai to Tel Aviv was approaching Israel when the co-pilot allegedly stabbed the flight captain and attempted to crash the aircraft, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said. The captain was able to fight off the co-pilot long enough to unlock the cockpit door. Passengers then overpowered the co-pilot, and two off-duty pilots who were on the flight managed to gain control of the aircraft and make an emergency landing in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. There were 174 people on board the plane . No passengers were seriously injured in the incident. The pilot sustained stab wounds in the attack. Saudi authorities said two crew members were hospitalized with unspecified injuries, and the co-pilot remained in custody on Thursday. Who was the FlyDubai co-pilot? The co-pilot of the flight has not yet been publicly identified, although multiple sources familiar with the investigation told CBS News on Friday that his name is Hamam al Hamami. Al Hamami worked for a short time for Oman Air, where he entered new pilot training. Surveillance by the Omani government discovered that he was visiting radical websites, the sources said. Oman Air then transferred him to an office job. One of the sources said the pilot resigned from his job at Oman Air after being placed on desk duty. He left the airline around 2024. At one point, sources said, al Hamami posted a video of El Al Israeli Airlines planes in Dubai with a photo at the end of the clip showing Ayman al-Zawahiri, a well-known al Qaeda leader who was killed in a U.S. drone strike in 2022. Al Hamami moved to Dubai, and FlyDubai hired him without vetting him with the Omani government, the sources told CBS News. Al Hamami is an Omani citizen but was not born in Oman, the sources said. He lived most of his life outside Oman, according to the sources, who disclosed that his mother is Syrian and his father is Omani. The Omani government has not publicly confirmed his nationality. The sources said it is possible he had dual citizenship because that could explain how he was allowed to fly to Israel. Co-pilot's motive unknown The co-pilot's motive in the alleged attack remains unknown. As time passes, the picture is becoming clearer; the attacker underwent Islamist radicalization. He came to crash the plane with its passengers, Netanyahu said in a statement Friday. We are investigating whether he was dispatched, and whoever sent him will pay a very heavy price. Netanyahu speculated to CBS News on Wednesday that the incident looked like a suicide attempt, referring to witnesses who said the co-pilot had tried to jam the plane's equipment instead of stabilizing the aircraft. After passengers subdued the co-pilot, he shouted for someone to kill him, Netanyahu told Fox News on Thursday. In the same interview with Fox, Netanyahu said personal information gathered during ongoing questioning had led Israel to the conclusion that the co-pilot underwent Islamist radical indoctrination. He did not offer more information. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz on Wednesday called the incident an attempted jihadist terror attack, and referred to the co-pilot as a terrorist. President Trump suggested Thursday that the co-pilot may be linked to Iran, based on what I'm hearing. We're working on it right now, Mr. Trump said. They're being very open with us. I would say the answer, based on what I'm hearing, is yes. But we're working on it right now. His comments went further than Netanyahu's, who told Fox it was too early to say if Iran was involved. An Israeli security official told CBS News that authorities were investigating the possibility the incident could have been an attempted Sept. 11-style terror attack, and were also probing whether the attacker was working alone. Netanyahu has warned in recent days of unspecified, escalating security threats to Israel and its interests amid its ongoing operations against Iran-allied Hamas in the Gaza Strip and Hezbollah in Lebanon. Co-pilot to be questioned in UAE The co-pilot was placed under arrest immediately. He was transferred Thursday from Saudi Arabia to the United Arab Emirates for questioning by Israeli, UAE and Saudi officials, an Israeli official confirmed to CBS News on Friday. On Wednesday, Netanyahu said the man was being questioned by the Saudi authorities and confirmed that Israeli authorities would join the interrogation and find out what happened there exactly. Netanyahu has not said what information has led investigators to conclude the co-pilot underwent radicalization.

Cornell rape accuser is under siege as people online try to identify her, lawyer says
[Getty Images] The lawyer for the woman who alleges she was raped at a Cornell University fraternity house says she is not doing well as she finds herself under siege from online sleuths seeking to identity her. Thomas Giuffra said the woman known in legal documents as Jane Doe was incapable of consent because she was completely, grossly intoxicated when she turned up at the home where she says the assault took place. The woman alleges she was raped by seven men at the campus in Ithaca, New York, in 2024. No charges were initially filed in the case. It has reopened since she filed a civil lawsuit that thrust the claims into the national spotlight, reigniting the possibility of criminal charges. In an interview on Friday with CNN, Giuffra said: She's under siege on social media where people are trying to identify her. He said that postings have incorrectly identified other woman as Doe. Watch: New York governor blasts handling of Cornell rape inquiry In an interview with CBS, the BBC's US partner, Giuffra argued that his client, aged 20 at the time, was unable to provide consent because she was intoxicated when she arrived at the fraternity house. Giuffra said she had been pressured into taking the drug ketamine before she was allegedly raped. His comments came as New York Governor Kathy Hochul appointed the state's top prosecutor, Attorney General Letitia James, to take over the investigation. At a news conference on Friday, Hochul said she had lost faith in the county prosecutor's ability to oversee the case. This young woman had already endured something that is utterly unspeakable, and then at every turn she was failed by people and institutions with an obligation to protect her, Hochul said. She also vowed to close a loophole of state law that makes it difficult to press rape charges if an alleged victim voluntarily consumes alcohol or drugs. Cornell students voice frustration at public hearing over rape case Social media feeds are filled with women trying to shield the Cornell accuser's identity by posting videos of themselves under the title I am Jane Doe. As well as seeking to complicate internet searches for her name, the messages of solidarity included clips of women detailing their own experiences of sexual assault. Efforts to rally round Jane Doe gathered pace after a political commentator vowed to unmask her, arguing it was unfair for her to remain anonymous while the men are publicly named despite not being charged with a crime. Online sleuths have also tried to locate the addresses of the so-called Cornell Seven, leading to at least one case of mistaken identity. An active-duty US Marine Corps sergeant who had the same name as one of the men was incorrectly served the woman's lawsuit, leading to a torrent of abuse and threats, according to the Free Press .

Road rage shooter's sentence quashed after AI video of victim was shown in court
An Arizona road rage killer will be resentenced after an appeals court ruled that an AI-generated video message from his dead victim was improperly aired in court. Gabriel Paul Horcasitas was found guilty by a jury of shooting and killing Christopher Pelkey, 37, during a confrontation at a red light in 2021. He was sentenced to 10 years behind bars. But his legal team appealed, arguing that the trial judge should not have allowed an AI video, created by Pelkey's family, to be shown in court ahead of last year's sentencing. The Arizona Court of Appeals agreed, ruling that Horcasitas, 55, must be resentenced because the AI clip crossed that line. Rather than document an event or recording a particular moment, the AI video presents a depiction of the victim and his thoughts created from the imaginings of the victim's sister, the court of appeals wrote on Wednesday. Horcasitas' lawyer, Kristen Reller, who filed the appeal, declined to comment. Jessica Gattuso, an attorney for victims in the case, did not respond to a request for comment. Pelkey's sister, Stacey Wales, told the BBC last year the family had used voice recordings, videos and pictures to recreate him for the AI video. To Gabriel Horcasitas, the man who shot me, it is a shame we encountered each other that day in those circumstances, said the AI version of Pelkey in court in 2025. In another life, we probably could have been friends. I believe in forgiveness, and a God who forgives. I always have and I still do, the AI version of Pelkey - wearing a grey baseball cap - continued. At the time of the sentencing, the judge who oversaw the case, Todd Lang, seemed to appreciate the use of AI. I loved that AI, thank you for that. As angry as you are, as justifiably angry as the family is, I heard the forgiveness, Judge Lang said. I feel that that was genuine.

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito confirms he's considering retirement
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has confirmed that he is considering retirement, leaving open the possibility that he could leave after next years term and hand another nomination to President Donald Trump. Alito said in excerpts of a CBS News interview released Friday that he thought about retiring this year and will do so again in 2027. Its something that I think that somebody at my age has to think about every term, the 76-year-old said in the interview scheduled to air Monday . But I thought that I could still make a valuable contribution, which is why I became a justice and a judge in the first place. Alitos interview, the first in a number of expected appearances to coincide with the release of a book about his judicial philosophy , raises the possibility that Trump, whose judicial picks shifted the Supreme Court to the right, may get an opportunity to nominate a fourth justice. The president, who expressed regret in a recent interview about several nominees who ruled against his administration on some issues, would have a harder time getting a fourth pick through the Senate if Democrats win control in the midterms. Alito, in the CBS interview, pushed back on concerns that the timing of his retirement and his replacement could potentially unravel his work on the bench. Its too hard to predict what the political situation will be and what any president might do with respect to a replacement, he said. Alito also defended his majority opinion in June 2022 that struck down Roe v. Wade and overturned the constitutional protections for abortion that had prevailed for decades. The decision closely matched one that had leaked a month earlier . We didnt know it when we produced the draft that was leaked, but it required courage to go ahead with that because of the implications, he said. He said the decision resulted in the loss of old friendships. Thats something you have to live with, he said, adding, Its part of the job that youre going to displease people by making decisions on controversial matters, because one side or the other is going to really dislike you because of the decisions.

Trump rules out diesel export ban after Europe agrees to tap reserves
President Donald Trump said Friday he was ruling out a diesel export ban and never really considered one in the first place, hours after Europe caved to U.S. pressure and agreed to release fuel from its stockpiles . The announcement appears to put to rest more than a week of frantic lobbying across two continents after surging fuel prices caused by the ongoing war against Iran as well as Ukrainian attacks against Russian refineries have angered farmers and put pressure on the Trump administration to act ahead of the November midterm elections. Europe has a lot of diesel, and theyre going to be making a major world contribution, and so are we, Trump told reporters as he left the White House for a campaign trip. And were not going to be doing the export ban. It was never really ever on the table, but what Europe did was a great thing, he added. Trump had repeatedly said over the last two weeks that he was open to suspending exports of the fuel , which would have been the first restriction on U.S. energy exports since the Obama administration lifted a decades-old ban on oil exports in 2015. The president said just over a week ago that Ive called for that when asked about a possible ban. But Energy Secretary Chris Wright and the presidents allies in the oil industry publicly condemned the idea , warning it could pose major economic problems for foreign countries who rely on U.S. imports and eventually result in higher pump prices at home as refiners scaled back production. Those advisers urged Trump instead to push Europe to release fuel from its stockpiles , prompting a frantic public and private campaign of European governments by Trump administration officials. The G-7 announced Friday morning they would release 100 million barrels of diesel and crude oil from their strategic reserves over the next four months, beginning with a frontloaded substantial diesel release within the first 20 days. POLITICO reported earlier Friday that the U.S. had essentially strong-armed hesitant EU governments into releasing their diesel supplies with the threat of an export ban, with one European diplomat labeling it blackmail. Trump told reporters Friday that he had asked for Europe to tap its stockpiles, but maintained that the Europeans had decided to tap their stockpiles out of their own volition. We have a very good relationship with Europe, and they wanted to do it because they have a lot of diesel, Trump said. I said it would be great if you put it out to the markets, and they did it. The Trump administration could still announce further measures on diesel prices short of a ban next week, according to two people familiar with the discussions. Among the ideas being evaluated are pushing more states to lift restrictions on red-dyed off-road diesel and suspend excise taxes on diesel sales. Meredith Lee Hill and Ben Lefebvre contributed reporting.
