The investigation into a "terror flight" case has escalated with the arrest of two additional co-pilots from the airline Flydubai. The two men, citizens of the Maldives, were detained as part of the complex probe after it was revealed they knew the primary suspect co-pilot, Al-Hamami, well. They worked with him at the same company and even lived in the same residential building. During their regular work with Flydubai, the two pilots had previously flown to Israel. Security and investigative bodies are continuing a thorough examination of the case's findings, with the exact nature of their connection to the terror infrastructure and the specific suspicions against them still under careful review. The Maldivian Embassy in the Emirates informed the families of the arrested pilots.
