Israeli probe: Flydubai co-pilot likely acted alone, no terror link found

Israeli investigators have found no evidence linking the Omani co-pilot accused of attacking a Flydubai captain to any terror group or government, suggesting he likely acted alone, according to CNN. The suspect, Hamam al-Hammami, allegedly attacked Captain Smit Machchhar with an axe and attempted to seize control of flight FZ1073 from Dubai to Tel Aviv on September 30, before being subdued by crew and passengers, forcing an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia. Al-Hammami, previously removed from Oman Air over extremist concerns, may have tried to crash the plane by cutting fuel switches, prompting Israel to review foreign flight crew vetting procedures.
