FlyDubai incident: knife and blood in cockpit, Israel not ruling out terror attack

The i24News channel, citing passengers, reports screams heard from the cockpit. Several people opened the door and saw a lot of blood — one of the pilots was injured with a pocket knife. According to eyewitnesses, the aircraft lost control for minutes and began descending. Israeli passengers reportedly helped regain control. Ynet writes that investigators are not ruling out a terrorist attack. One of the main lines is a pilot's attempted suicide with a possible terrorist motive. Channel 12 reports that the suspected pilot is being interrogated. Officially, the airline still refers to a fight in the cockpit, not a hijacking.
