The alleged Flydubai hijacker had planned to crash the plane into Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv and was inspired by the 9/11 attacks, a preliminary investigation has found.

Hamam al-Hammami, the suspect in the hijacking attempt and co-pilot on board last week’s flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv, wanted to carry out a similar attack to September 11, 2001, which led him to pursue an aviation career, according to a statement from the United Arab Emirates’ Attorney General Hamad Saif Al Shamsi shared by Emirati state media.

“The idea of carrying out a similar operation using an aircraft became firmly established in his mind, which, according to his confessions, was connected to his decision to pursue a career in aviation,” Friday’s statement said. Nearly 3,000 people were killed in the 9/11 attacks 25 years ago, after four commercial planes were hijacked and crashed into three locations in the United States.

All MoFos are indoctrinated, brainwashed, mentally ill zombies. Heads without brains, bodies without souls. Converts make an irrational decision to destroy their own mind for the Muslim manifesto’s dictates.

Someone paid him to train to kill himself.
Same with the 911 Saudi.
I’m sure the FBI will get right on it.

I don’t thing “early investigation” means “Please tell us what you were thinking” over a spot of tea.
