10/ Bottom line: Al-Bayan is using the 25th anniversary moment & an unclaimed, still-murky incident to argue that aviation remains the signature target, & that it does not much matter who carries out the next one. That ideological permissiveness is worth watching.

1/ 🧵 New: Al-Bayan #11 (2 Oct 2026), the weekly put out by al-Qaeda supporters in the Arabian Peninsula, leads its editorial with the flydubai FZ1073 incident. The headline says it all: "Between 11 September and 30 September."

Terrorist images were found on Flydubai suspect Hamam al-Hammami's social media cnn.it/4AMtUNQ

Hamam al-Hammami, an Omani, is the pilot suspected of attacking the captain on Wednesday’s Tel Aviv-bound #Flydubai flight. - He was born in the UAE to an Omani father and a Syrian mother. - Oman Air removed him from flight training last year over extremist views and moved him to another role; he left the airline in February 2025. - He later worked at Royal Air Maroc and had been at Flydubai for about eight months. - A LinkedIn account sources link to him posted, about nine hours after the incident, cockpit clips zooming on El Al and Arkia aircraft, ending with images of al-Qaeda figures Ayman al-Zawahiri and Humam al-Balawi. - A second post showed an AI image linking Mecca, Medina, and Jerusalem, with a poem about rejecting humiliation and not fearing death. The account was then deleted. - Deleted 2021–2022 tweets show a strict religious line: niqab, a wife who stops working, and opposition to mixed workplaces. - He completed a distance-learning aviation management degree at Buckinghamshire New University in 2023. - The UAE attorney general is investigating possible terrorist links and prior planning or direction. Israeli agencies are examining how an Omani was cleared onto a Tel Aviv crew. - Netanyahu said Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed agreed Israel could join the interrogations in Saudi Arabia, where the aircraft diverted cnn.com/2026/10/02/world/fly…

Bilderna och klippen från Frankrike är svåra att ta in. Laglösheten, själviskheten, mobben, idiotin. Poliser och brandmän skadas. En kvinna får en provisorisk eldkastare i ansiktet. Byggnader i brand. Skolor stängda. Kaos på franska gator, igen. Julafton för främmande makt.

An unforgettable conversation with Captain Smit, filled with pride and emotions.

Yesterday, after 12 years of waiting, the remains of 25 Yazidis killed in the genocide were returned to their families. My brother, Heji Murad Basee, was among them. We finally had the chance to say goodbye. We continue to wait for our other family members to be identified and returned.

Washington just renewed a $5 million reward for a woman in the Islamic State. That should change how we think about women in jihadist groups. They aren't only recruits or suicide bombers anymore. Some now hold real authority. My latest in @ConversationUS theconversation.com/from-sui…
