[Sources say that the Dubai Air co-pilot originally planned to fly the plane into the Israeli airport terminal] October 5th, according to Israeli news on October 4, local time, Hamam Hammami, the Omani co-pilot who attacked the captain on the Dubai Air passenger plane on September 30, testified during the trial in the United Arab Emirates that he originally planned to drive the passenger plane "directly into" the Ben-Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv, Israel. According to reports, Hammami chose to attack the captain when the passenger plane was flying over Jordan. He originally planned to let the plane fly normally until it was about to arrive at Ben-Gurion Airport. When the Israeli military plane had no time to intercept, he drove the plane into the airport terminal. The injured captain opened the cockpit door at all costs, thwarting Hammami's attempt. Israeli sources said Hammami told the interrogation that he had planned the attack before he was hired by flydubai. He researched which airlines flew to Tel Aviv and tried to apply, eventually being hired by flydubai. (CCTV News)
