Flydubai Stops Dubai-Tel Aviv Flights After Takeover Claim

Flydubai has stopped flying between Dubai and Tel Aviv after passengers and crew stopped what officials call a 30 September attempt to take over Flight FZ1073 with 182 people on board. The UAE's top prosecutor alleges the co-pilot, named in news reports as Omani Hammam al-Hammami, stabbed the pilot with an emergency axe. The airline says it is still investigating.
