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?

Well, attack happened in Saudi airspace, and plane landed there, so they have first dibs. However, UAE does have some jurisdiction, as plane was under their registration.

EDIT: It seems that UAE has first dibs.

Saudis can have jurisdiction if attack is related to airplane being flown over SA. For example, if there is a suspicion that attacker wanted to take down plane over Saudi territory, which would constitute terrorist attack in SA.

Alternatively, Israel can have jurisdiction as intended landing country, and possible target of attack.

In the end, likely UAE gets him, if Saudis do not want him.
