АНЭУ-ын прокурорын мэдээлснээр, өнгөрсөн долоо хоногт Дубайгаас Тель-Авив руу нисэж байсан зорчигч тээврийн онгоцыг барьцаалахыг завдсан нисгэгч нь Израйлын олон улсын нисэх буудлын терминалыг онилсон амиа золиослох халдлага үйлдэхээр төлөвлөж байжээ.
Дубайгаас Тель-Авив чиглэлд нисэж байсан “Flydubai” компанийн нисгэгч Хаммам аль-Хаммами нь онгоцны бүхээгт Энэтхэгийн нисгэгчийг сүхээр гэмтээж, удирдлагыг гартаа авахыг завдсан байна. Хэдийгээр нисгэгч хүнд гэмтсэн ч бүхээгийн хамгаалалтын хаалгыг онгойлгож чадсанаар зорчигчид халдлага үйлдэгчийг дарж авчээ. Тухайн үед онгоцонд явсан амралтаараа явж байсан нисгэгч онгоцыг Саудын Арабад аюулгүй газардуулсан байна.
АНЭУ-ын Ерөнхий прокурор Хамад Саиф аль-Шамсигийн мэдээлснээр, 29 настай Оман улсын иргэн аль-Хаммами нь энэхүү халдлагыг “Бен Гурион нисэх буудалд олон хүний амь насыг хохироох зорилготой” амиа золиослох ажиллагаа байсан гэдгээ хүлээн зөвшөөрчээ. Тэрээр Австралид сурч байх хугацаандаа хэт даврагч үзэл сурталд автаж, 2001 оны есдүгээр сарын 11-ний халдлагаас санаа авч агаарын хөлөг ашиглан ижил төстэй ажиллагаа явуулахыг эртнээс төлөвлөсөн байна.
Хэрэг гарсны дараа Австрали болон Шинэ Зеландын эрх баригчид аль-Хаммамигийн тус улсуудад суралцаж, нисгэгчийн сургалтад хамрагдаж байсан үеийг шалгаж эхэлжээ. Мөрдөн байцаалтын урьдчилсан дүнгээр, тэрээр “Flydubai”-д ажиллахаасаа өмнө “Oman Air” болон “Royal Air Maroc” компаниудад нисгэгчээр ажиллаж байсан нь тогтоогдсон бөгөөд халдлага үйлдэхээсээ өмнө Тель-Авив руу хоёр удаа нислэг үйлдэж, нислэгийн чиглэл болон нисэх буудлын байршлыг судалсан байна.
АНЭУ-ын тал одоогоор түүнийг ганцаараа үйлдсэн гэж үзэж байгаа ч ямар нэгэн террорист бүлэглэлтэй холбоотой эсэхийг тогтоохоор мөрдлөгийг үргэлжлүүлж байна. Израйлын Ерөнхий сайд Биньямин Нетаняху онгоцонд байсан зорчигчид болон нисгэгчдийг эр зориг гаргасан хэмээн сайшаажээ.

The co-pilot who tried to seize control of a passenger jet flying from Dubai to Tel Aviv last week was planning to launch a suicide attack targeting the passenger terminal at Israel’s international airport, prosecutors in the United Arab Emirates said on Friday.
Hammam al-Hammami attacked the plane’s Indian pilot with an emergency axe, but failed to prevent his badly injured colleague from opening the cockpit’s security door to allow passengers to overpower his assailant.
Passengers then tried to control the aircraft, which was safely landed in Saudi Arabia by an off-duty relief pilot who was among about 180 passengers.
Dr Hamad Saif al-Shamsi, attorney-general of the UAE, said on Friday that al-Hammami, who is in Emirate custody, had admitted he had tried to execute a “premeditated terrorist plot to … launch a suicide attack targeting the passenger terminal at Ben Gurion airport near Tel Aviv, with the aim of causing the greatest possible loss of life”.
The 29-year-old, who was hired by flydubai, a government-owned low-cost airline, began a process of radicalisation while studying in Australia when he was influenced by the hardline takfiri ideology through reading extremist literature and online content glorifying terrorist organisations and suicide attacks, al-Shamsi said in a statement.
“[Al-Hammami] subsequently developed … ideas advocating violence and terrorism. He also drew inspiration from the 11 September 2001 attacks, and the idea of carrying out a similar operation using an aircraft became firmly established in his thinking. According to his confession, this was linked to his decision to pursue a career in aviation.”
Over the weekend, Australian security agencies launched an investigation after it emerged al-Hammami spent about two years in the country as a student until 2017. He left the country without completing his engineering degree.
New Zealand authorities have launched their own investigation after police confirmed al-Hammami underwent flight training there about a year after he abandoned a degree in Australia.
There has been widespread concern about how al-Hammami was able to pass vetting and join a crew flying to Israel. An Omani national, he earned a distance-learning aviation management degree from Buckinghamshire New University in 2023 and was employed by Oman Air from 2020-24, joined Royal Air Maroc in early 2025 and worked there for several months before moving to flydubai in January 2026.
Security officials have been keen to understand if al-Hammami was acting alone or had become involved with a group such as al-Qaida or Islamic State, which could suggest further such attacks might be planned. Emirate authorities believe this is not the case.
“In the presence of his lawyer and with all legally prescribed safeguards ensured, the suspect provided a detailed confession outlining his motives and the stages of planning and execution. He admitted that he had acted alone, without the involvement of others, although investigations are continuing to verify this claim,” al-Shamsi said.
Investigators have found al-Hammami had used two previous flights to Tel Aviv to “familiarise himself with the flight route and the airport”, the Emirati state news agency WAM reported.
The passengers on board the aircraft were overwhelmingly Israeli, with prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu hailing them and the pilot for their bravery after the foiled attack.
