Reuters reports that the pilot who stabbed a fellow crew member aboard a flydubai flight and attempted to down the aircraft is of Omani origin. The incident is drawing attention partly because of confusion over the facts: commenters are frustrated that reliable information about the event and the suspect's background has been slow to emerge. The story remains tied to the UAE, Oman and regional carriers.

Why now: Fresh reporting identifies the attacker's nationality in an alarming in-flight attack, and people are frustrated by the lack of clear official information.
