UAE Attorney General Accuses Flydubai Co-Pilot of Planning Terrorist Operation

The UAE attorney general has accused an Omani co-pilot working for Flydubai of planning a terrorist operation, with Israeli participation in the investigation into him.

International media reports said the co-pilot had previously been barred from flying in Oman over suspicions that he held extremist views.

According to those reports, Omani authorities imposed the restriction on security grounds, believing he had been influenced by extremist Islamist groups during a trip to Syria.

The information provided does not specify the alleged operation’s target or timing, or describe the nature of Israel’s involvement in the investigation.

The accusation and the reported reasons for the flight ban remain allegations. No court ruling or response from the co-pilot was included in the available information.
