Flydubai co-pilot planned 9/11-style attack on Tel Aviv airport, UAE says

UAE prosecutors revealed that the flydubai co-pilot who attacked the captain with an axe last month intended to crash the aircraft into Ben Gurion Airport's terminal in a 9/11-inspired attack. The suspect, a 29-year-old Omani national, had rehearsed the route twice before and was radicalized while studying in Australia.
