Melbourne Islamic leader responds to alleged Flydubai hijacker links
A leader of a Melbourne Islamic centre, Samir Mohtadi, also known as Abu Hamza, has released a video after his centre was allegedly linked by Emirati prosecutors to the accused Flydubai hijacker. In the video, he refers to Islamic texts on the virtues of staying silent and publicly dismisses "false accusations" against him. Prosecutors alleged the Omani co-pilot first became radicalised while studying.
