Flydubai Flight Diverts to Saudi Arabia After Suspected Pilot Attack; Iran Receives US Hormuz Response (Sep 30, 1059 UTC, 1359 Israel) (Evening Edition)
A Flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv made an emergency landing in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, after the co-pilot allegedly stabbed the captain and attempted to crash the aircraft with 180 passengers aboard. Israeli officials say a second crew of off-duty pilots and passengers subdued the attacker, averting what one senior official called a 'major disaster.' Iran received the US response to its seven-day Hormuz trust-building proposal via Qatari mediators, with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi set to discuss it in Tehran.
