Saudi confirms Fly Dubai co-pilot assault
Saudi media reports indicate that initial investigations into the Fly Dubai incident that occurred yesterday, Wednesday, suggest an assault on the pilot by his assistant. The aircraft, en route from Dubai to Ben Gurion Airport in Israel, requested an emergency landing at Taba Airport in Saudi Arabia after the pilot and his assistant sustained severe injuries during the incident. They were transported to a hospital and their condition has since improved; they then left the kingdom accompanied by an Emirati security team to Abu Dhabi. The aircraft was carrying 174 passengers, most of whom were Israelis, and following the incident, a replacement plane was used to continue the journey while the original crew returned to Dubai. Investigations are still ongoing to determine the motives behind the assault, with terrorism-related links ruled out for now.
