(Central News Agency, Dubai 3rd Comprehensive Foreign News Report) A bloodbath in the cockpit of Dubai Air flight FZ1073 was recently reported. The Prosecutor General of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Shamsi told state-run media today that the co-pilot attacked the pilot with an ax during the flight in an attempt to carry out a terrorist attack.

A person familiar with the matter told Reuters that the co-pilot was Omani Hamam al-Hammami. The UAE government has not yet responded to media requests for comment confirming the identity of the co-pilot.

The United Arab Emirates News Agency (WAM) reported that Hamad Saif al-Shamsi said that the co-pilot attacked the pilot with a door-breaking ax used in emergency situations in the cockpit and attempted to seize control of the aircraft.

This type of door-breaking ax is usually placed in the cockpit and is only used when the aircraft encounters an emergency.

Shamsi added that the investigation is ongoing and will clarify the incident, motive and relevant clues, and examine physical and digital evidence.

Shamsi's remarks showed that for the first time, the UAE official characterized the incident as an attempted "terrorist" attack.

A spokesman for flydubai said that the circumstances related to the incident are still under investigation and it is inconvenient to make further comments at this time.
