US coordinating very closely with Israeli counterparts on flydubai incident, attorney general says
US Attorney General Todd Blanche said on Wednesday that the US was coordinating "very closely" with counterparts overseas, including Israel, regarding a flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv that was diverted.
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered authorities to "ramp up" security on both on Israeli carriers and non-Israeli carriers on Wednesday, a spokesperson for the prime minister's office said, after the flydubai flight incident.
An Israel-bound flight made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday after its co-pilot allegedly attempted to crash the plane.
