03.10.2026 ā¢ The Day UAE Called the Flydubai Attack Terrorism
āØ
UAE authorities described the Flydubai cockpit assault as an attempted terrorist attack, saying the Omani co-pilot attacked the captain with a crash axe. Attention then shifted to Britain, with reports he had studied at a UK university, had been barred from flying by Oman over extremist views, and had posted hateful rants while a student.
Domestic counter-terrorism moved to the fore as two Iranian migrants were charged with plotting attacks on Jewish targets in Britain, with reports one had previously claimed asylum in Germany, while a separate case linked the suspect in Ann Widdecombe's murder to an alleged plot against Nigel Farage.
The Green conference exposed a rift over a 'Zionism is racism' motion and its effect on Jewish members, as Netanyahu accused Burnham's Britain of acting like a rogue state and Wes Streeting said Trump was right to demand higher UK defence spending.
