> The Flydubai co-pilot accused of stabbing the captain on a Dubai-to-Tel Aviv flight had reportedly been barred from flying in Oman over concerns about radical ideological views. Two other pilots took control and landed safely in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the co-pilot had undergone Islamist radical indoctrination and intended to crash the plane.
