Israel says flydubai co-pilot who tried to crash plane had extremist background
The jet dropped over 14,000 feet in under half a minute above Saudi Arabia before those on board took control. Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday that the Omani crew member had received radical Islamist training and probably acted independently. The injured captain unlocked the flight deck, letting travellers hold down the suspect before a backup crew landed in Tabuk.
