The co-pilot who tried to seize control of a passenger jet flying from Dubai to Tel Aviv last week was planning to launch a suicide attack targeting the passenger terminal at Israel’s international airport, prosecutors in the United Arab Emirates said on Friday.
阿联酋检察官周五表示,上周试图夺取一架从迪拜飞往特拉维夫的客机控制权的副驾驶,计划对以色列国际机场的客运航站楼发动自杀式袭击。
Hammam al-Hammami attacked the plane’s Indian pilot with an emergency axe, but failed to prevent his badly injured colleague from opening the cockpit’s security door to allow passengers to overpower his assailant.
哈曼·哈马米用紧急斧头攻击了飞机上的印度飞行员,但未能阻止重伤的同僚打开驾驶舱的安全门,让乘客制服袭击者。
Passengers then tried to control the aircraft, which was safely landed in Saudi Arabia by an off-duty relief pilot who was among about 180 passengers.
乘客随后试图控制飞机,最终由一名休班的代班飞行员安全降落在沙特阿拉伯,该飞行员当时约有180名乘客。
Dr Hamad Saif al-Shamsi, attorney-general of the UAE, said on Friday that al-Hammami, who is in Emirate custody, had admitted he had tried to execute a “premeditated terrorist plot to … launch a suicide attack targeting the passenger terminal at Ben Gurion airport near Tel Aviv, with the aim of causing the greatest possible loss of life”.
阿联酋总检察长哈马德·赛义夫·沙姆西博士周五表示,被阿联酋拘留的哈马米承认,他曾试图实施"预谋恐怖阴谋......发动针对特拉维夫附近本古里安机场旅客航站楼的自杀式袭击,目标是造成最大生命损失"。
The 29-year-old, who was hired by flydubai, a government-owned low-cost airline, began a process of radicalisation while studying in Australia when he was influenced by the hardline takfiri ideology through reading extremist literature and online content glorifying terrorist organisations and suicide attacks, al-Shamsi said in a statement.
这位29岁的年轻人受雇于国有廉价航空公司flydubai,在澳大利亚求学期间,因阅读极端主义文献和网络内容,宣扬恐怖组织和自杀式袭击,开始激进化,开始激进化。
“[Al-Hammami] subsequently developed … ideas advocating violence and terrorism. He also drew inspiration from the 11 September 2001 attacks, and the idea of carrying out a similar operation using an aircraft became firmly established in his thinking. According to his confession, this was linked to his decision to pursue a career in aviation.” Over the weekend, Australian security agencies launched an investigation after it emerged al-Hammami spent about two years in the country as a student until 2017.
"[哈马米]随后发展出......主张暴力和恐怖主义的思想。 他还从2001年9月11日袭击中汲取灵感,并坚定地认为用飞机执行类似行动的想法。 据他供述,这与他决定从事航空事业有关。" 周末,澳大利亚安全机构展开调查,调查显示哈马米曾作为学生在该国度过了约两年,直到2017年。
He left the country without completing his engineering degree. New Zealand authorities have launched their own investigation after police confirmed al-Hammami underwent flight training there about a year after he abandoned a degree in Australia.
他未完成工程学学位就离开了国家。 新西兰当局也启动了自己的调查,此前警方确认哈马米在澳大利亚放弃学位约一年后曾在那里接受飞行训练。
There has been widespread concern about how al-Hammami was able to pass vetting and join a crew flying to Israel.
关于哈马米如何通过审查并加入飞往以色列的机组人员,引发了广泛担忧。
An Omani national, he earned a distance-learning aviation management degree from Buckinghamshire New University in 2023 and was employed by Oman Air from 2020-24, joined Royal Air Maroc in early 2025 and worked there for several months before moving to flydubai in January 2026. Security officials have been keen to understand if al-Hammami was acting alone or had become involved with a group such as al-Qaida or Islamic State, which could suggest further such attacks might be planned.
作为阿曼公民,他于2023年获得白金汉郡新大学远程学习航空管理学位,2020年至2024年在阿曼航空工作,2025年初加入摩洛哥皇家航空,工作数月后于2026年1月调任flydubai。 安全官员一直热衷于了解哈马米是否单独行动,或与基地组织或伊斯兰国等组织有关联,这可能暗示此类袭击可能正在计划中。
Emirate authorities believe this is not the case. “In the presence of his lawyer and with all legally prescribed safeguards ensured, the suspect provided a detailed confession outlining his motives and the stages of planning and execution.
阿联酋当局认为情况并非如此。 "在律师在场且确保所有法律保障措施的情况下,嫌疑人提供了详细的供词,阐述了他的动机以及计划和执行的各个阶段。
He admitted that he had acted alone, without the involvement of others, although investigations are continuing to verify this claim,” al-Shamsi said. Investigators have found al-Hammami had used two previous flights to Tel Aviv to “familiarise himself with the flight route and the airport”, the Emirati state news agency WAM reported.
他承认自己是单独行动,没有其他人参与,尽管调查仍在继续核实这一说法,"沙姆西说。 阿联酋国家通讯社WAM报道,调查人员发现哈马米曾使用过两次飞往特拉维夫的航班"熟悉航线和机场"。
The passengers on board the aircraft were overwhelmingly Israeli, with prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu hailing them and the pilot for their bravery after the foiled attack.
机上乘客绝大多数是以色列人,以色列总理本杰明·内塔尼亚胡在袭击失败后对他们和飞行员的英勇表示赞赏。
