UAE prosecutors say flydubai co-pilot Hamam al-Hammami developed extremist views in 2017 while studying at RMIT University in Melbourne, inspired by 9/11. The Omani national allegedly attacked captain Smit Machchhar with an axe on September 30, planning to crash the Tel Aviv-bound flight into Ben Gurion Airport. The aircraft was diverted safely to Tabuk, Saudi Arabia.
