Omani Flydubai Co-Pilot Transferred to UAE for Investigation
The suspect in the flydubai cockpit stabbing was moved to the Emirates as sources clarify he held only Omani citizenship.
The Omani co-pilot suspected of attempting to hijack the flydubai flight to Tel Aviv and stabbing the captain has been transferred to the United Arab Emirates for questioning, news outlet The Media Line reported. At the same time, fundraisers supporting the wounded Indian captain have neared $80,000.
According to a report by The Jerusalem Post, sources familiar with the investigation stated that the suspect held no nationality other than Omani citizenship. The sources also disputed claims that the aviation agreement between Israel and the UAE restricts flight crews exclusively to nationals of countries with formal diplomatic ties to Israel.
