Original: Crash axe used on flydubai pilot in attempted 'terrorist' attack, UAE says
UAE authorities say a flydubai pilot was attacked with a crash axe in what officials are describing as an attempted terrorist incident. The assault involved emergency equipment carried aboard the aircraft. Details about the pilot's condition, the suspect and the flight involved have not been widely confirmed, and investigators have not released a full account of how the attack unfolded.
Why now: The unusual use of onboard emergency equipment and the terrorism designation make the incident striking and newsworthy.
