Alleged flydubai hijacker studied in Australia, left before completing course

RMIT University confirmed that Hammam al-Hammami, the flydubai co-pilot accused of attempting to hijack a flight to Tel Aviv on 30 September, was a student at its Melbourne campus between 2015 and 2017 but left without completing his engineering qualification. Australian authorities are examining his time in the country. The incident, which was thwarted by passengers and crew, raises questions about aviation security vetting and the suspect's background.
