Flydubai Co-Pilot Hammami Sings: The Full Confession Files

Shiv Aroor discusses the chilling new revelations emerging from the Flydubai cockpit attack investigation, as alleged confessions by Omani co-pilot Hamam al-Hammami point to a meticulously planned operation that may have been years in the making. From being flagged for extremist material and grounded by Oman Air, to allegedly securing a position on Israel-bound flights and conducting reconnaissance missions at Ben Gurion Airport, the report traces the alleged evolution of a plot investigators believe was designed to turn a passenger aircraft into a weapon. It also raises urgent questions about aviation security failures, intelligence gaps, pilot vetting procedures and how Captain Smit Machchhar's actions may have prevented a catastrophe with devastating consequences.
