UAE Prosecutor General Says Flydubai Probe Uncovered Attempted Terrorist Operation

The UAE’s prosecutor general has said an investigation into an incident involving a Flydubai flight found that the co-pilot had begun attempting to carry out a terrorist operation.

The finding links the incident to alleged deliberate action by a member of the flight crew. The prosecutor general identified the co-pilot as the person suspected of initiating the operation.

The brief announcement did not specify what actions the co-pilot allegedly took or how investigators reached their conclusion. It also provided no details about the flight’s route or when the incident occurred.

No information was given about any charges, the co-pilot’s legal status or the outcome of the alleged attempt. The prosecutor general’s account remains an investigative allegation, rather than a court finding.
