Flydubai co-pilot's Australia stay probed after alleged hijack attempt on Israel-bound flight

Australian security agencies are investigating the two-year student period of a flydubai co-pilot who allegedly attempted to hijack an Israel-bound flight on Wednesday, with passengers and crew intervening to prevent the takeover. The incident, which involved 182 people and a rapid altitude drop, marks a significant security breach in civil aviation. The investigation into the co-pilot's Australian ties suggests potential radicalization or operational planning, though the motive and any external links remain unconfirmed.
