The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has officially declared the terrifying incident aboard Flydubai flight FZ1073 bound for Tel Aviv with 182 passengers a premeditated act of terror. The UAE Attorney General confirmed that the co-pilot attacked Indian Captain Smit Machchhar inside the flight deck using a cockpit emergency axe in an attempt to hijack and crash the aircraft. Following international media investigations and reports from the Wall Street Journal, the assailant has been formally identified as Omani national Hamam Al-Hammami (Hama Al-Hammami). Reports reveal he was previously barred from flying by authorities in Oman due to extremist indoctrination traced back to Syria, before being hired by Flydubai eight months ago. Authorities recovered Free-Palestine flyers and anti-Israel literature from his personal baggage. As flights between UAE and Israel remain suspended, watch this high-tempo, zero-fluff explainer dissecting the terror confession and regional fallout.
