An Israeli investigation team has arrived in the United Arab Emirates to participate in the inquiry into an alleged attempted terror attack on a FlyDubai flight. The Shin Bet (Shabak) is involved in the investigation, according to the 0404.co.il website. Previously, N12 News and Walla reported that Israeli investigators were expected to question the co-pilot of flight FZ1073, Hamam al-Hammami, who is accused of attempting to crash the plane with Israeli passengers aboard. Ynet reported that the Mossad and Israeli aviation experts are also participating in the investigation.
