BREAKING: Saudi Arabia hands the FlyDubai co-pilot accused of stabbing the flight's captain over to the United Arab Emirates as investigators race to determine what triggered the terrifying midair attack.
The Israel-bound plane plunged thousands of feet after the captain was stabbed, before passengers subdued the suspect and other pilots regained control. All 174 people aboard survived.
President Trump is now raising the possibility of an Iran connection, but investigators have not publicly established one. The UAE is also examining whether the attack was linked to terrorism.

JUST IN: Convicted killer Christa Pike is now in critical condition after surviving two lethal injection attempts in Tennessee, according to her attorney.
"Christa is alive right now," attorney Randy Spivey says, adding that Pike is receiving "lifesaving care" at a hospital.
Another attorney says it appears a needle may have become dislodged or pierced through a vein, preventing the lethal drug from being properly administered. Tennessee officials have not yet confirmed what caused the execution to fail.
Pike was sentenced to death for the 1995 torture and murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer.
She was set to become the first woman executed in Tennessee in more than 200 years.
The extraordinary sequence inside the execution chamber is now under investigation. Read what witnesses saw and heard as Pike remained alive after two doses: https://t.co/v84MyMEX4L

Pike was later transported to an off-site medical facility.
Lee says the state has a responsibility to ensure executions are carried out legally, constitutionally, and effectively.

Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu comes face-to-face with some of the passengers who helped stop a midair catastrophe aboard the FlyDubai jet.
Yaniv Hayun describes rushing into the cockpit as the Tel Aviv-bound plane plunged, pulling the alleged attacker away from the controls and then grabbing them himself until others could take over.
The chaos erupted after the co-pilot allegedly stabbed Captain Smit Machchhar. The wounded captain managed to unlock the cockpit, allowing passengers to intervene before the plane eventually landed safely in Saudi Arabia.

BREAKING: Tennessee death row inmate Christa Pike is still alive after 2 lethal injections, according to her lawyer.
At 8:26 p.m. local time, witnesses said executioners had "injected both syringes of lethal injection chemicals and Pike is still alive and snoring," her lawyers said.
Authorities appeared to give Pike two doses of pentobarbital, but she was still alive more than 40 minutes after the last dose. Officials then escorted media witnesses out of the area, and the Tennessee Department of Corrections said it was unable to immediately provide information about what happened.
The attempted execution comes after the Supreme Court vacated a last-minute stay that had temporarily spared Pike from becoming the first woman executed in Tennessee since the early 1800s.
Read what unfolded inside and the legal battle that preceded the execution attempt: https://t.co/paAxUrHnnr
BREAKING: “I’ve witnessed, I believe, 5 executions in Tennessee. Nothing about today was normal, typical at all.”
Shocking new details emerge from the failed attempt to execute Christa Pike, the 50-year-old inmate who has spent nearly 30 years on Tennessee’s death row.
At a news conference following the attempted execution, media witnesses are now revealing more about what Pike was saying and what they heard as the process unfolded.
“The vein in my arm feels like it’s about to burst open,” Pike told her spiritual adviser during the process.
Officials administered two syringes of pentobarbital, but Pike still had a heartbeat and was snoring after receiving the drugs, according to an emergency court filing from her attorneys. One witness described the sound as if Pike was “almost choking.”
“She was clearly still alive. She was clearly still breathing.”
The curtains inside the execution chamber went down twice as the process unfolded, and Tennessee officials ultimately were unable to complete the execution.
Pike was sentenced to death in 1996 for the 1995 murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer. She was 18 at the time of the killing.
🇺🇸🇮🇷🇮🇱 Trump one again says he went to war with Iran to save Israel:
“I went to war to stop what could be one of the worst things that could ever happen to the world — to us, but to the world.
Israel would be wiped out right now.
There would be no Israel, there'd be no Middle East, and then the rockets and the bombs would start coming our way and Europe's way.
And I stopped it.”
