      The apparent terrorist was the co-pilot who was Omani, the captain that the terrorist attacked was Indian.

      That was fake news.

      It was an Omani national co-pilot who stabbed his Indian-Emirati captain but was then overpowered by Israeli passengers along with South African and Kiwi backup pilots.

        I think he may have just been Indian, I did see some early reports listing him as an Emerati but the more recent reports appear only seem to list him as Indian.

        > South African and Kiwi backup pilots

        Was this confirmed? I didn't see a reliable source reporting on the nationality of the backup pilots.

      And where did you read that? Is it more trustworthy than the Financial Times?

        Doesn't matter. It was fake news that percolated right around the time the incident was reported.
