Unnamed Israeli officials are reported as saying an incident on board a Tel Aviv-bound flight may have been an attempted terror attack. A commercial plane travelling from Dubai in the United Arab Emirates to Israel was forced to make an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia, after reports one of the pilots stabbed the other, before other people entered the cockpit and took control of the plane. It then landed in Tabuk, a civilian and military base in the Kingdom's north-west. Middle East correspondent Matt Doran reports.
