An imam in Melbourne has strongly rejected allegations by authorities in the UAE that the mosque he leads was previously linked to the suspect in the attempted hijacking of a flydubai flight. Hammam Al-Hammami is accused of trying to take control of a flydubai plane to crash it into Israel's main airport. In a statement, the imam says there's no record of Mr Al-Hammami ever attending the mosque, and the claims risk unfairly damaging the reputation of a centre that's served its community for decades.
