Three University of South Alabama students were arrested Friday over alleged threats against President Donald Trump ahead of his evening rally on the Mobile campus, a source familiar with the matter told Fox News.

The students were each charged with threatening the president over social media posts allegedly made in the days leading up to Trump's visit, according to the Lagniappe Daily.

The federal cases were unsealed Friday afternoon, just hours before Trump was scheduled to take the stage at the university's Mitchell Center, the outlet reported.

Federal investigators discovered the posts while conducting social media intelligence searches ahead of the president's visit and used emergency disclosure requests and information from University of South Alabama police to identify the individuals, according to FBI affidavits cited by Lagniappe.

One student allegedly wrote a threatening remark toward Trump under a TikTok post about the president's planned visit to the campus, according to an FBI affidavit cited by the outlet.

Another student allegedly posted on X that people would "remember the University of South Alabama the same way they remember Utah Valley University," according to the outlet’s account of the FBI affidavit.

Investigators noted that Utah Valley University was where conservative activist Charlie Kirk was fatally shot last year.

A third student allegedly replied to a TikTok post about Trump’s appearance.

Mobile County Sheriff Paul Burch said earlier in the week that his office was assisting federal authorities as they monitored social media activity related to the president's upcoming appearance.

The University of South Alabama said ahead of the event that the rally was not university-sponsored and that the Mitchell Center had been rented by the Republican National Committee (RNC).

"The University of South Alabama unequivocally condemns any form of threats directed at elected officials or any individual with whom we disagree," the university said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "We encourage open dialogue and active civic participation, and having a difference of opinion is a natural part of any vibrant community.

"However, there is a clear line between exercising free expression and engaging in intimidation or unlawful conduct."

Trump took the stage for the midterm campaign rally Friday evening as scheduled, returning to Mobile roughly 11 years after his 2015 rally in the city during the opening months of his first presidential campaign.

"It sort of all began here," Trump told the crowd Friday, recalling the 2015 event.

He also recognized Burch and University of South Alabama President Jo Bonner from the stage.

Watch: Jane Doe "was incapable of consent" in Cornell rape case, says lawyer

The lawyer for the woman who alleges she was raped at a Cornell University fraternity house says she is "not doing well" as she finds herself "under siege" from online sleuths seeking to identity her.

Thomas Giuffra said the woman known in legal documents as Jane Doe was "incapable of consent" because she was "completely, grossly intoxicated" when she turned up at the home where she says the assault took place.

The woman alleges she was assaulted by seven men at the campus in Ithaca, New York, in 2024.

No charges were initially filed in the case. It has reopened since she filed a civil lawsuit that thrust the claims into the national spotlight, reigniting the possibility of criminal charges.

In an interview on Friday with CNN, Giuffra said: "She's under siege on social media where people are trying to identify her."

He said that postings have "incorrectly" identified other woman as Doe.

In an interview with CBS, the BBC's US partner, Giuffra argued that his client, aged 20 at the time, was unable to provide consent because she was intoxicated when she arrived at the fraternity house.

Giuffra said she had been pressured into taking the drug ketamine before she was allegedly raped.

His comments came as New York Governor Kathy Hochul appointed the state's top prosecutor, Attorney General Letitia James, to take over the investigation.

At a news conference on Friday, Hochul said she had "lost faith" in the county prosecutor's ability to oversee the case.

"This young woman had already endured something that is utterly unspeakable, and then at every turn she was failed by people and institutions with an obligation to protect her," Hochul said.

She also vowed to close a "loophole" of state law that makes it difficult to press rape charges if an alleged victim voluntarily consumes alcohol or drugs.

Cornell students voice frustration at public hearing over rape case

During an interview with investigators, Doe told campus police investigators: "I was a sex doll for all intents and purposes, which is sad but, unfortunately, something I'm not used to, or something that I haven't experienced before."

She also said that she "felt like bait" as the attackers were "like lions around me", according to records from the school's disciplinary investigation, obtained by US media.

Social media feeds are filled with women trying to shield the Cornell accuser's identity by posting videos of themselves under the title "I am Jane Doe".

As well as seeking to complicate internet searches for her name, the messages of solidarity included clips of women detailing their own experiences of sexual assault.

Efforts to rally round Jane Doe gathered pace after a political commentator vowed to unmask her, arguing it was unfair for her to remain anonymous while the men are publicly named despite not being charged with a crime.

Online sleuths have also tried to locate the addresses of the so-called Cornell Seven, leading to at least one case of mistaken identity.

An active-duty US Marine Corps sergeant who had the same name as one of the men was incorrectly served the woman's lawsuit, leading to a torrent of abuse and threats, according to the Free Press.

The Rams' revamped defensive front will be shorthanded Sunday when Los Angeles faces the Philadelphia Eagles without its two most notable offseason additions.

Myles Garrett remains on injured reserve after sustaining an injury during Week 1 in Australia. Aaron Donald, who came out of retirement in late August to rejoin the Rams, will also be sidelined Sunday. Donald did not travel with the team for the season opener because, according to coach Sean McVay, he had not yet progressed far enough in his ramp-up process.

Donald's latest setback is notable because he is now dealing with what the team described as back issues. According to McVay, Donald "felt some soreness" after last week's loss to the Denver Broncos.

McVay said the Rams had a responsibility to protect Donald, regardless of his desire to play.

"I think our job as coaches is [to] put our players in positions to have successful outcomes," McVay said. "He's as tough as it gets, just not feeling good enough. And I think it would be irresponsible on my part — and obviously talking with [team doctor] Reggie [Scott] — to ask him. He would do it and he could probably go be productive, but part of our job is to protect these tough dudes like him from themselves."

"... He's working as hard as he can to get himself feeling as good as possible. And we're hopeful and optimistic that good days are ahead."

On the other side of the ball, the Rams will welcome back a key offensive weapon Sunday, with wide receiver Puka Nacua set to return after sitting out the past two games with a hip injury.

McVay said Nacua "looked sharp" during practice this week, particularly through the session’s more physically demanding portions.

Nacua finished Week 1 with five receptions for 74 yards. Los Angeles, a pre-season Super Bowl odds-on favorite, enters Week 4 at 1-2.

A new film, "Atonement," is based on the true story of a U.S. Marine who served in the first Iraq War. In the early days of the war he mistakenly fired on a family driving through a chaotic Baghdad intersection. Shots were being fired in many directions, but the Marine gunfire killed three civilians. The movie chronicles the Marine's long-simmering guilt and trauma and an elongated effort to reach out to the surviving family members in an attempt to find some manner of reconciliation. Reed Van Dyk, the film's producer and director, Dexter Filkins, who wrote the New Yorker story the film's script is based off of, and Boyd Holbrook, who stars in the movie, join "The Takeout" to discuss.

A routine security screening at upstate New York's Watertown International Airport (ART) took a startling turn when TSA officers discovered a spent smoke grenade hidden inside an aerosol container in a passenger's carry-on bag.

The discovery was made by Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers recently, according to a Sept. 24 release from the agency.

During inspection, officers found the spent M18 smoke grenade.

SHARP WEAPON DISCOVERED BY TSA TUCKED INSIDE UNUSUAL ITEM IN PASSENGER'S CARRY-ON BAG

In a statement, TSA Officer Yessenia Alvarez, who was operating the X-ray machine at the time, said she "didn’t like how the item appeared," referring to the unusual-looking aerosol container. 

"I called over Lead TSA Officer Melissa Graffam and told her I did not have a good feeling about it," said Alvarez.

"I was very stunned when I saw the item on the screen."

The officer added that she had "seen these types of items in training scenarios."

Graffam said the item "looked funny" when she saw it on the X-ray screen.

"I saw from the image that the top of the can didn’t look right but appeared to be empty," she said.

"It was located in the side pocket of the bag, so I opened it and saw it was an M18 smoke grenade."

Graffam said the discovery was particularly unusual for the small airport, where officers typically encounter prohibited items such as knives and oversized liquids.

When she asked the passenger why the smoke grenade was in his bag, he told her he had forgotten it was there, according to the TSA.

"I found [that] strange because his bag only had a few items in it," Graffam said.

Lead TSA Officer Debra Alcock, who was serving as acting supervisor, then notified the Syracuse TSA Coordination Center and a TSA explosives expert — who confirmed the grenade was not live.

The smoke grenade ranked among the most memorable finds Alcock has seen during her time with the agency, the release said.

"The teamwork in resolving this issue was excellent," said Alcock.

"Everyone did their part to help control the checkpoint while we resolved the situation."

Brian Bushnell, TSA's federal security director for upstate New York's airports, said the incident serves as a reminder for travelers to check their bags before leaving home.

"Spent, inert or replica explosive items are not allowed through the checkpoint and can cause delays, disrupt operations and prompt a law enforcement response," said Bushnell.

"When in doubt, travelers should leave the item at home or check TSA’s resources, such as TSA.gov, before packing."

Though many people believe that spent grenades are not hazardous, officials warn that they can still pose risks. 

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has issued public safety alerts regarding vintage grenades in particular.

Recently, at Tampa International Airport, TSA officers discovered another alarming object.

TSA Officer Andrew Carter was screening the passenger's carry-on bag with an X-ray machine when he noticed something unusual about the flashlight — and flagged the bag for a closer look.

He ultimately found a 4-inch, double-edged knife concealed inside a baseball bat-shaped flashlight, according to an employee story published on the agency's website.

"Do not try to test the system," Keith Jeffries, the Florida-based vice president of K2 Security Screening Group and a former federal security director for TSA at Los Angeles International Airport, told Fox News Digital about the knife incident. 

"If you do, you will be caught."

With 40 dead and a disaster declared across all 50 city districts, experts warn extreme flooding will only worsen across south-east Asia

Bangkok is used to absorbing the sudden afternoon downpours that inundate the city during the rainy season. Even streets in many central high-rise districts can briefly turn into rivers, with rats and cockroaches racing out of sewers and taking temporary refuge on trees and buildings as the subterranean world is flushed out.

But every city has a breaking point, and this year rain fell so fast and so hard that whole neighbourhoods of the Thai capital have been transformed, not into rivers, but stagnant lakes. In parts of the city, roughly 300mm of rain – the equivalent of half a year of average rainfall in London – fell in about two days.

Days after a FlyDubai co-pilot made a violent attempt to crash the passenger aircraft and was subdued by passengers and other crew members, questions about his motive continued to swirl.   

The flight Wednesday from Dubai to Tel Aviv was approaching Israel when the co-pilot allegedly stabbed the flight captain and attempted to crash the aircraft, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said. The captain was able to fight off the co-pilot long enough to unlock the cockpit door. Passengers then overpowered the co-pilot, and two off-duty pilots who were on the flight managed to gain control of the aircraft and make an emergency landing in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia.

There were 174 people on board the plane. No passengers were seriously injured in the incident. The pilot sustained stab wounds in the attack. Saudi authorities said two crew members were hospitalized with unspecified injuries, and the co-pilot remained in custody on Thursday. 

Who was the FlyDubai co-pilot? 

The co-pilot of the flight has not yet been publicly identified, although multiple sources familiar with the investigation told CBS News on Friday that his name is Hamam al Hamami. 

Al Hamami worked for a short time for Oman Air, where he entered new pilot training. Surveillance by the Omani government discovered that he was visiting radical websites, the sources said. Oman Air then transferred him to an office job. 

One of the sources said the pilot resigned from his job at Oman Air after being placed on desk duty. He left the airline around 2024. 

At one point, sources said, al Hamami posted a video of El Al Israeli Airlines planes in Dubai with a photo at the end of the clip showing Ayman al-Zawahiri, a well-known al Qaeda leader who was killed in a U.S. drone strike in 2022.

Al Hamami moved to Dubai, and FlyDubai hired him without vetting him with the Omani government, the sources told CBS News.

Al Hamami is an Omani citizen but was not born in Oman, the sources said. He lived most of his life outside Oman, according to the sources, who disclosed that his mother is Syrian and his father is Omani. 

The Omani government has not publicly confirmed his nationality.

The sources said it is possible he had dual citizenship because that could explain how he was allowed to fly to Israel.

Co-pilot's motive unknown

The co-pilot's motive in the alleged attack remains unknown. 

"As time passes, the picture is becoming clearer; the attacker underwent Islamist radicalization. He came to crash the plane with its passengers," Netanyahu said in a statement Friday. "We are investigating whether he was dispatched, and whoever sent him will pay a very heavy price."

Netanyahu speculated to CBS News on Wednesday that the incident looked "like a suicide attempt," referring to witnesses who said the co-pilot had tried to jam the plane's equipment instead of stabilizing the aircraft. After passengers subdued the co-pilot, he shouted for someone to kill him, Netanyahu told Fox News on Thursday. 

In the same interview with Fox, Netanyahu said "personal information" gathered during ongoing questioning had led Israel to the conclusion that the co-pilot "underwent Islamist radical indoctrination." He did not offer more information.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz on Wednesday called the incident "an attempted jihadist terror attack," and referred to the co-pilot as a "terrorist." 

President Trump suggested Thursday that the co-pilot may be linked to Iran, "based on what I'm hearing." 

"We're working on it right now," Mr. Trump said. "They're being very open with us. I would say the answer, based on what I'm hearing, is yes. But we're working on it right now."

His comments went further than Netanyahu's, who told Fox it was "too early to say" if Iran was involved.

An Israeli security official told CBS News that authorities were investigating the possibility the incident could have been an attempted Sept. 11-style terror attack, and were also probing whether the attacker was working alone. Netanyahu has warned in recent days of unspecified, escalating security threats to Israel and its interests amid its ongoing operations against Iran-allied Hamas in the Gaza Strip and Hezbollah in Lebanon.  

Co-pilot to be questioned in UAE   

The co-pilot was placed under arrest immediately. 

He was transferred Thursday from Saudi Arabia to the United Arab Emirates for questioning by Israeli, UAE and Saudi officials, an Israeli official confirmed to CBS News on Friday.  

On Wednesday, Netanyahu said the man was "being questioned by the Saudi authorities" and confirmed that Israeli authorities would "join the interrogation and find out what happened there exactly."

Netanyahu has not said what information has led investigators to conclude the co-pilot underwent radicalization. 

Editor's note: This story has been updated to reflect that the pilot resigned from Oman Air and wasn't fired.
