The terrifying incident aboard FlyDubai Flight FZ1073 may have had an even darker objective. Investigators believe the suspected FlyDubai attacker intended to crash the aircraft into Israel’s Ben Gurion International Airport. Two senior US officials and an Israeli source familiar with the investigation shared the finding with ABC News.
Ben Gurion is the main international airport serving Tel Aviv. The suspected target adds a disturbing new dimension to the Sept. 30 cockpit attack.
