Israeli sources said on Oct. 4 that Omani co-pilot Hamam Hammami told UAE investigators he had planned to fly a Dubai-based carrier's aircraft directly into Tel Aviv's Ben-Gurion International Airport. The Sept. 30 incident began when Hammami allegedly attacked the captain over Jordanian airspace; he told authorities he intended to let the aircraft continue toward Ben-Gurion and strike the terminal at a point when Israeli jets could not intercept. The injured captain forced the cockpit door open and foiled the attempt, sources said. Hammami said the plot predated his hiring: he researched carriers operating flights to Tel Aviv, sought employment with them and was ultimately hired by the Dubai airline.
