- Omani co-pilot Hamam al-Hammami is accused of attempting to crash a flydubai jet bound for Israel.
- The alleged attack was thwarted by the captain and passengers after al-Hammami reportedly became violent.
- Al-Hammami had previously been suspended from flying duties due to "extremist material" and radicalization concerns.
- Security screening for his flydubai job reportedly focused on criminal records, not radicalization.
- Troubling social media posts, including footage of Israeli planes and an image of Ayman al-Zawahiri, have emerged.
- Investigators are examining if Israeli authorities missed warning signs about al-Hammami.
