The co-pilot of the FlyDubai plane who allegedly attacked the plane's captain and attempted to crash a flight bound for Israel on Wednesday is an Omani national who was previously suspended from flying by Oman Air after being identified as a security risk, according to senior intelligence and law enforcement officials.
Multiple sources familiar with the investigation identified the suspected attacker as 29-year-old Hamam Al Hammami.
The officials told ABC News that Al Hammami, while working as a co-pilot trainee for Oman Air in 2024, was found to be in possession of extremist materials. The suspect was allowed to continue working for the airline in an administrative role, the sources said. Officials investigating the incident are still trying to determine how the suspected attacker was subsequently permitted to fly for FlyDubai and how he ended up as the first officer in the cockpit of a plane headed for Israel, the sources said.
Al Hammami -- who was transferred Thursday from Saudi Arabia to the United Arab Emirates -- is said to be "cooperating" with authorities investigating the incident and has indicated that his intent was to crash the aircraft in Israel, according to sources briefed on the investigation.

Balthasar Gérard. Just saying!
How many times do we have to see this? Known as a security risk, long criminal history, etc.?
The world had better grow the hell up.
Judging from how these dirt bags operate, he will probably be back flying again next week. /S
WTH??? He takes a distance-learning program in AVIATION MANAGEMENT and is Second In Command in a Boeing 737 MAX 8 just THREE years later?
Did he ever learn to fly somewhere?
This reads like a False Flag Psyop.
No Muslim should be allowed to operate a plane, or any other form of transportation that could be used as a deadly weapon. I think we are close to a second crusade war. This cannot stand how muslims have murderous intent towards Jews and non Muslims. They mean us harm and it’s going to come down to them or us mentality.
The Omani co-pilot accused of attacking the captain aboard a Flydubai flight to Israel on September 30 attempted to carry out a “terrorist” attack, the United Arab Emirates prosecutor general said Saturday. The alleged assailant, identified as Omani national Hamam al-Hammami, had been barred from flying in his country due to his radical ideological views, several media reported.
What muzzie male is not a security risk?
Exactly
Well, Duhhh!
ABC knows nothing but BS. And late at that.
So now we invoke the Crusades. You see now that the Church was totally justified in launching them. Islam is of Satan.
If he had been fired for his known security risks, ABC would have been trying to help him get his job back.
ABC is kind of late to the party.
This is typical of any organization that has so much as “toyed” with woke or DEI — and then encountered any objections. They acknowledge the objections, put the person on Admin leave (paid) and then wait until y’all forget about it. Then, they put him back on staff and proceed according to the original plan.
Accept no “pending investigation”. Go to public meetings and identify the politico/bureaucrat who is tied by name to the offending person. And, ask during each meeting.
If you give up, you are the problem.
That’s why they had him flying a planeload of “Jooz.”
