> Israel is investigating whether someone directed the Flydubai co-pilot who attacked the captain and allegedly tried to crash a passenger plane, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said. He vowed that whoever sent the attacker would pay a “very heavy price.” The Dubai-to-Tel Aviv flight made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia on September 30, leaving both pilots injured.
