Shin Bet agents have traveled to Dubai to participate in the investigation of an Omani pilot, identified as Hamaam al-Hamami, who attempted to hijack a Flydubai flight. Initial findings indicate the hijacker intended to crash the plane into a U.S. Al-Hamami had visited several enemy states in recent years, in addition to Syria. While investigators are examining whether he was recruited by any organization, the leading assessment is that he acted as a lone attacker. Authorities in Australia and New Zealand are also investigating his time spent in those countries approximately ten years ago.
