Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated Thursday that the flydubai co-pilot, accused of attacking a flight, was subjected to “Islamist radical indoctrination.” The incident occurred on a flydubai flight primarily carrying Israeli passengers. The flight’s captain and passengers successfully subdued the suspect mid-flight. Following the attack, the aircraft made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday. Authorities in the United Arab Emirates are currently investigating a potential connection to terrorism. The investigation aims to understand the extent of any planned terror activity related to the incident. Further details regarding the co-pilot’s radicalization and potential motives are still emerging.
