UAE says FlyDubai co-pilot planned to crash flight into Tel Aviv airport after scouting route twice

UAE prosecutors say Omani co-pilot Hamam al-Hammami intended to cause mass casualties in a 9/11-inspired attack, stabbing pilot Smit Machchhar during a flight to Tel Aviv. WAM reported that he had taken two earlier flights to familiarize himself with the route and airport; Machchhar later recounted the cockpit attack in a video call with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
