flydubai Attack: What Did Co-Pilot Hammam Al Hammami Post Online?
A CNN analysis of nearly 3,000 deleted posts attributed to flydubai co-pilot Hammam Al Hammami has raised fresh questions about his past and security vetting. Reports say he was flagged as a security risk while training with Oman Air in 2024 after extremist material was allegedly found in his possession. His deleted social media posts reportedly showed hardline religious views, while some videos ended with images of al-Qaeda-linked figures. As investigators examine his digital trail alongside his previous aviation history, major questions remain over how he later returned to commercial flying and whether any warning signs were missed.
