The Omani co-pilot, Hammam al-Hammami, is accused of planning a 9/11-style attack on a Flydubai flight bound for Tel Aviv by crashing the plane into a building. The co-pilot allegedly intended to kill the Indian Captain Smit Machchhar, who was also on board the flight. Al-Hammami chose Flydubai for his alleged plot because the airline operated flights to Israel.
According to reports, he had been indoctrinated by Al-Qaeda and had planned the attack even before joining Flydubai. He had initially intended to carry out the attack in July but changed his plans after becoming friendly with one of the crew members. He reportedly wanted to wait until the aircraft was over Jordan before attempting to take control, but if that didn't work out, he planned to crash the plane into a US military base in Jordan.
The attempt was foiled when the captain overpowered the co-pilot during a struggle. Machchhar, who was injured during the incident, is currently recovering in a Dubai hospital. The passengers were safely landed at Tabuk airport in Saudi Arabia and later flown to Ben Gurion Airport in Israel.
