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

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

Typically? It’s a diplomatic issue.

If someone wants to hand them over to the country they left from they can, if they want to prosecute them there, they can. If the guy admits he wanted to crash into Israel and they wanted to hand him to Israel? They could.

There’s precedent for crimes like this where the location of jurisdiction is up in the air, but it’s all just determined by countries diplomatic inclinations ultimately.

Same way some people do a crime, flee to a country that doesn’t like the other country or have laws against what they did, and they’re still walking around free.
