Original: Flydubai co-pilot attempted 9/11 suicide attack on Tel Aviv and trained for cockpit fight
A Flydubai co-pilot allegedly plotted a 9/11-style suicide attack targeting Tel Aviv and had trained for a fight in the cockpit, according to reporting by The National. The revelations raise serious questions about airline security vetting and radicalisation among aviation crew. Details about whether the plot was imminent, and how authorities uncovered it, remain limited as the story develops.
Why now: New reporting of an alleged aviation terror plot by an airline crew member is alarming and highly newsworthy.
