UAE presidential adviser Anwar Gargash called the cockpit attack on a Flydubai flight a "dangerous terrorist act" and praised Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar for preventing a crash. The September 30 Dubai-Tel Aviv flight was diverted to Tabuk after the Omani co-pilot allegedly stabbed Machchhar and attempted to bring down the plane. Investigations into possible radicalisation continue.
