UAE investigates possible ‘terrorist’ link in attack on flight to Israel

What the coverage shows

All outlets center the same basic frame: a flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv diverted to Saudi Arabia after a reported cockpit fight, with most quoting Netanyahu or Israeli officials saying one pilot stabbed the other and may have tried to crash the plane. The Guardian, BBC, Washington Post and New York Times stay close to that official account, while CNN and Al Jazeera use more guarded language such as “violent incident” or “emergency alert” and CNN adds a report of a steep descent. Only NBC, CBS, 60 Minutes and NPR foreground passengers or crew helping subdue someone, and only The Independent explicitly says Saudi authorities were interrogating the man.
