Public figure linked to Melbourne Islamic community centre and extremist network investigations
Authorities have charged an Omani co‑pilot, identified in multiple reports as Hamam al‑Hammami, after he allegedly attacked his captain on a Flydubai flight on Sept. 30. UAE prosecutors have said he has drawn inspiration from al‑Qaeda’s 2001 attacks and first became radicalised while studying in Melbourne; Australian and New Zealand agencies are investigating his time there.
