Flydubai co-pilot planned to crash aircraft into Ben Gurion airport, UAE says
The UAE attorney general has said the alleged hijacker of a flydubai plane planned to crash into Israel's Ben Gurion airport.
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.
