Airborne Xianzhong attack · Full chronicle and history

UAE officials have announced the identity of the suspect in the attempted Dubai hijacking, confirming him to be 29-year-old Omani co-pilot Maham al-Mahami.

A Bilibili aviation blogger relayed an industry insider’s tip, stating that the pilot was a male tech company head in his sixties named Liu Minghua, who, due to a romantic dispute, embezzled public funds and suffered a mental breakdown, leading him to commit suicide by jumping off a building, attempting to downplay the political color of the incident.
