An Omani national who attempted to hijack a Flydubai flight from the UAE to Israel has been transferred to Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. The transfer occurred a day after Saudi Arabia announced it had returned him to the country from which he departed. The hijacker, along with the flight's captain, had been taken to a hospital in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, following the plane's emergency landing. After their medical conditions improved and they were cleared to travel, they were returned to the UAE earlier today.
According to a diplomatic source cited by C14's Political Desk Chief, Mati Tuchfeld, Israel intends to actively participate in the investigation, rather than merely receiving updates from the UAE. Saudi Arabia will also be involved in the inquiry, which will be conducted by the UAE.
