UAE Detains Two Maldivian Pilots as Investigation Probes Links to Flydubai Cockpit Attacker
UAE authorities have detained two Maldivian flydubai pilots in connection with the September 30 cockpit attack on Flight FZ1073. While the primary suspect, Omani co-pilot Hamam al-Hammami, claims he acted alone, investigators are examining his contacts to rule out conspiracy. The detention raises questions about the scope of the investigation and the presumption of innocence for the detained individuals.
