Flydubai hijacker planned to crash aircraft in 9/11-inspired attack, UAE says
The alleged hijacker of a flydubai plane planned to crash into Israel's Ben Gurion airport, according to a senior Emirati official.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets centre the UAE attorney general’s allegation that a Flydubai co-pilot planned to crash a plane into Ben Gurion airport. The South China Morning Post is more specific, adding that the co-pilot was Omani, that the flight was Dubai-Tel Aviv, and that the alleged plan was a suicide attack on September 30, while Sky News leaves those details out.
