Shin Bet joins UAE probe of pilot who planned to crash plane in Israel or Jordan

Israeli security service Shin Bet is participating in the UAE investigation of pilot Mamoun Al-Mamoun, who allegedly intended to crash his plane at Ben Gurion Airport or an American base in Jordan as a fallback. He had visited Syria and other hostile countries; the leading assessment is he acted alone, though recruitment is being checked. This marks a cross-border counterterrorism investigation involving a commercial aviation plot.
