A pilot on a flight from the United Arab Emirates stabbed another pilot and then apparently tried to crash the aircraft carrying dozens of Israelis on Wednesday, Israel's prime minister said. Passengers and crew subdued the attacker, and the plane made a safe emergency landing in Saudi Arabia.
The FlyDubai flight to Israel issued an emergency alert and abruptly descended thousands of feet (meters). The episode prompted Israel to scramble warplanes amid concerns about a possible hijacking.
