Todos los detalles del historial en redes del atacante de Flydubai

The Flydubai co-pilot, Hamam al-Hammami, sought to hijack a flight bound for Tel Aviv, reportedly inspired by his online presence and controversial beliefs. A former crypto speculator, Hammami lived with his parents and described women as "rotten flesh" on a now-deactivated social media account. Public information about the Omani-Syrian aviator is limited, with Emirati investigators keeping details of his interrogation under tight wraps.

His online activity, spanning November 2021 to October 2022, included over 3,000 Twitter posts. Though his account was removed, archived posts remain accessible. Hammami often communicated with others, offered unsolicited advice, and displayed enthusiasm for aviation, describing it as the safest mode of transport. His posts combined extremist Islamic interpretations with sexist language, reflecting misogynistic online cultures.

Hammami's radicalization remains unclear, but investigators suspect he acted alone during the September 30 attack, when he allegedly used a stun gun to incapacitate the pilot and seize control of the aircraft.
