Flydubai Co-Pilot Transferred to UAE After Israel-Bound Flight Attack

Saudi Arabia's Interior Ministry stated that the flydubai co-pilot suspected of attacking the flight captain was transferred from the kingdom to Abu Dhabi on Thursday morning.

The co-pilot and captain departed after medical clearance, accompanied by an Emirati security team, following initial investigations showing the co-pilot assaulted the captain.

U.S. President Donald Trump alleged that Iran may be linked to the incident and warned that Tehran would be hit very hard if involved.
