FlyDubai Attack Probe Puts Spotlight on an Australian Mosque

Investigators in the United Arab Emirates say the co-pilot accused of attacking a captain on a FlyDubai flight to Israel gradually drifted toward extremism while he was a student in Australia.
According to The New York Times, those findings have turned attention in the investigation to an Australian mosque linked to the suspect's time in the country.
The information available is limited. It does not describe in detail how the attack unfolded, who the suspect is, or what charges Emirati authorities have brought. The precise role of the mosque in the inquiry is also not spelled out in the available text.
The investigation is continuing, and further details may emerge once the authorities release more information.
