UAE says co-pilot planned to crash Israel-bound plane into terminal

UAE prosecutors say the co-pilot planned to crash the plane into an airport terminal near Tel Aviv.

They say he wanted to kill as many people as possible and drew inspiration from the September 11 attacks in the United States.

The plane made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia.

The case raises questions about how airlines can spot warning signs when hiring staff.
