Flydubai copilot attacked captain with axe, UAE calls it terrorism
Original: Flydubai copilot attacked captain with emergency axe in 'terrorist act,' UAE attorney general says
UAE Attorney General says a Flydubai copilot attacked the captain with an emergency axe on board in what authorities describe as a terrorist act. The case has drawn wide attention given its rare nature and the implications for aviation security in the UAE, with officials characterising the incident as terrorism rather than a workplace dispute.
Why now: Officials have formally classified an onboard attack by a copilot as a terrorist act, a rare and alarming aviation security incident.
