Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said it is too early to say who was behind an attack aboard a Flydubai flight to Tel Aviv in which an Omani copilot stabbed his captain, resulting in a struggle with passengers. The chaos unfolded about two-and-a-half hours after flight FZ 1073 left Dubai on Wednesday morning as a fight broke out in the cockpit, causing the plane to plummet from 33,000 to 17,000 feet in about a minute. Passengers described how the bloodied Indian captain managed to open the cockpit door to let them in before they grappled with the copilot and stabilised a descent so sharp that the plane’s rudder was torn away. • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Get breaking news and more stories at http://www.itv.com/news Follow ITV News on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@itvnews?lang=en Follow ITV News on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on X: https://t
