The investigation into the alleged plot targeting Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport has taken a new turn, with two Maldivian pilots employed by Dubai-based airline Flydubai reportedly detained by UAE authorities on October 3, according to reports in Maldivian and Israeli media. No official public explanation has been provided for their detention, and authorities have not disclosed any allegations against the two pilots. The reported detentions come after the September 30 incident aboard Flydubai Flight FZ1073, which was travelling from Dubai to Tel Aviv. UAE authorities allege that Omani co-pilot Hamam al-Hammami attacked the Indian captain, Smit Machchhar, with a cockpit crash axe and attempted to take control of the aircraft. The plane was eventually brought under control and landed safely in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, with assistance from people aboard the flight. #Flydubai #UAE #Maldives #AviationSecurity #BenGurionAirport #Israel #TerrorProbe #WorldNews #News18 n18oc_breakingnews CNN-News18 i
