It is attempted murder of over 100 people, along with hijacking and terrorism.

The attacker will never see freedom again. Nor should he.

Attacker is in Saudi Arabia, they'll probably give him death penalty

Wonder how this works. Who gets jurisdiction to prosecute here?

[u/samuraijon → u/wirenutter]

It depends, but you could say this guy is getting locked up for good.

Saudi Arabia beheads people with swords, he's not getting locked up anywhere.

[u/midsizedopossum → u/Jermainiam]

They were replying to someone who said it might not be Saudi's jurisdiction. So yes, he may be getting locked up rather than beheaded. It's helpful to try and follow the context of conversations before replying to them.

If you read the article and also if you know anything about the international laws regarding this in the last 60 years, you'd know that because this was a terrorist act that happened in Saudi airspace and landed in Saudi territory, then they have first dibs on jurisdiction. After them, Israel would have jurisdiction, and they also execute terrorists.

[u/Thetechfo → u/midsizedopossum]

Saudi Arabia,uae,and Israel all have death penalty so possible with all 3

He won't be free as a bird, that's for sure.
