Israel has called the attack on the cockpit of Fly Dubai a 'terrorist attack'. The name of the accused Omani co-pilot has not yet been released. However, a lot of information about him has come forward. But this time US President Donald Trump indicated that the person has links with Iran. Naturally, noise has fallen around such comments of Trump in the informed circles.
A reporter asked Trump if anyone had informed him of any possible links between the Flydubai attackers and Iran. In response, Trump said his team is looking into the matter. “We are working on this right now,” he said. We will be completely open about this. As far as I can tell, based on what I'm hearing, the answer is yes. But we are looking into the matter.” The journalist wanted to know directly from him, is it not true that the person is connected with Iran? In response, the US president nodded in agreement. Note that no official evidence of Iranian involvement has yet been found. Then the question arises on what basis Trump is saying this.
Note that on Wednesday morning Fly Dubai flight FZ 1073 departed from Dubai to Tel Aviv. Captain Smit Machar was in the driver's seat. Allegedly, the co-pilot suddenly attacked him inside the cockpit. A major accident could have happened at any moment. But the flight made an emergency landing at Tabuk Airport, northwest of Saudi Arabia. It is known that the injured pilot is Indian. And the attacker is a resident of Oman. This time, Trump's hint deepened the mystery.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday that the attacker in the cockpit of the Flydubai flight was “indoctrinated into Islamist and extremist ideology”. However, he did not give any details about it. He was asked who was behind the brainwashing of the Omani co-pilot. But in response to this question, Netanyahu said that he does not know any information about this. However, Israel will fully assist the investigation with the United Arab Emirates.
