The Omani co-pilot who slashed the pilot while boarding the flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv on September 30 is said to have been inspired by al-Qaeda’s attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001.
The co-pilot intended to cause as great a loss of life as possible, according to the investigation.
"None of the procedures revealed any signs of his extremist views or his intention to carry out a terrorist act," the prosecutor says of the co-pilot’s security clearance.
