Netanyahu says Flydubai attacker had 'Islamist radical indoctrination'
Israel's prime minister says the pilot who tried to take over the Flydubai plane clearly intended to "down the plane".
What the coverage shows
Both outlets centre on Netanyahu’s claim that the alleged FlyDubai hijacker was subject to “Islamist radical indoctrination.” BBC News also foregrounds Netanyahu’s assertion that the pilot intended to “down the plane,” while The Independent uniquely includes a second point from Israeli security officials that their initial assessment was that the co-pilot was likely acting alone.
