Emiratos Árabes constata que el piloto del vuelo a Tel Aviv pretendía cometer una “acción terrorista”
La Fiscalía, que investiga el incidente, señala que el arrestado atacó al comandante con una hacha pequeña. Netanyahu amenaza: “Si fue enviado por alguien, pagará un precio muy alto”
Over 24 hours after a pilot stabbed another mid-flight in Tel Aviv, the motives behind the attacker's actions remained the main mystery on Thursday. Israel considers the incident a "terrorist attempt," and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has hinted at a possible Iranian involvement. He further assured that he will participate in the interrogations and "possibly" in the investigations where the United Arab Emirates will examine "how much" the incident the night before is "related to any terrorist activity" and whether it was premeditated.
The pilot, an Omani national but whose identity has not been disclosed, was flying over Jordanian territory with around 170 Israeli passengers when he suddenly descended sharply and stabbed his cabin mate. A reserve pilot corrected the trajectory and landed safely in Saudi Arabia.
