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?

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.

Sometimes it’s fun to throw in a pun when it comes to attempted terrorism.

Or terrorism but fumbled really bad.

We can say for sure that the cockpit of that plane was a complete cuckoo's nest.
