Flydubai flight scare: Was it a terror plot? What we know and don't know
A Flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv was diverted to Saudi Arabia after a violent confrontation between its two pilots on Wednesday. The aircraft, carrying around 180 passengers, entered a rapid descent before intervention. The pilot, identified as Indian Captain Smit Machchhar, was stabbed by his Omani co-pilot, raising initial fears of a hijacking, though Israeli officials later dismissed this theory.
