Explosive confession of Fly Dubai co-pilot. When questioned by investigators in Saudi Arabia, Omani 'terrorist' pilot Hamam al-Hamami said his intention was to destroy the plane with passengers. Not only that, the accused pilot also said in the interrogation, “I am not afraid of death.” The Wall Street Journal published such information citing Saudi Arabian investigators.
The Fly Dubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv met with a major disaster in mid-air last Wednesday. Hamam was trying to divert the plane towards Saudi Arabia. Seeing that, Smit went to stop it, at that time Hamam attacked him with an ax in the cockpit. In the end, the plane landed safely thanks to Smith's bravery and the help of others on board. But there were many questions about the whole event from the beginning. Some thought that the bloodshed in the cockpit was due to personal enmity between the two pilots. But Saudi authorities have made it clear that Hammam's plan was not a personal grudge, but a terrorist attack.
Along with Saudi Arabia, Emirates, Israel is also investigating this case. It is being investigated whether there was any external force associated with this hamami.
The 29-year-old pilot, Hamam al-Hamami, is being questioned by UAE authorities after he was brought back from Saudi Arabia. On Saturday, the Attorney General of Amirshahi said that the assistant pilot had planned to carry out the terrorist attack. Along with Saudi Arabia, Emirates, Israel is also investigating this case. It is being investigated whether there was any external force associated with this hamami. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has already said that the terrorist pilot's intention was to kill Israeli citizens by destroying the aircraft.
It is reported that the Omani authorities had earlier banned him from flying due to his radicalism and extremism, but later he hid the information and got a job at Hamami Flydubai.
