Flash: The Omani co-pilot who stabbed Captain Smith of Chachar and tried to crash Flydubai Flight FZ1073 on its way to Tel Aviv has been identified as Hammam Al Hamami.

Netanyahu stated today that after the first investigations, it is becoming more and more clear that the attacker has become radicalized and embarked on the path of jihadism.

While it was clear to anyone who followed the growth of Islamist terrorism in the Muslim world in recent decades that jihadism was a plausible explanation behind a stabbing attack by a co-pilot in the cockpit of a passenger plane flying to Israel, the Western mainstream media sold the story of "spitting" or "squabbles" between pilots.

Many in the West still bury their heads in the sand.
