Omani Co-Pilot Case File: Everything We Know So Far
Who is the Omani co-pilot accused of attacking Captain Smit Machchhar and allegedly attempting to bring down the flydubai aircraft? Three days on, his identity remains publicly unverified. NDTV's case file brings together what is known so far - his Omani nationality, reported eight-month tenure with flydubai, recruitment as a first officer and the investigation into alleged Islamist radicalisation. He has reportedly been transferred to the UAE as the counter-terror probe continues, with Israeli investigators expected to question him in Abu Dhabi. What happened during his recruitment? Were warning signs missed? And what does the investigation reveal about the events inside the cockpit?
