Investigation into FlyDubai Attacker Puts Spotlight on a Melbourne Mosque

An investigation into a suspected attacker associated with a FlyDubai flight has put a Melbourne mosque and its leader under renewed scrutiny, according to officials. The co-pilot of a flight bound for Israel attended the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology-associated “My Centre” (also known as the Multicultural Youth Center) during the period investigators say he began radicalization. Investigators identify the 29-year-old Omani national as Hamam al-Hammami. He is in custody in the United Arab Emirates and questioned over allegations that he tried to attack the captain and crash the plane last month. Australian authorities opened a probe into his time in Australia.
