Witnesses recounted how a group of passengers and crew members then stormed the cockpit and subdued the co-pilot. <\/p>\n<p>Two off-duty pilots then took control of the plane and made an emergency landing at an airport in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. There were 174 people on board, Israeli officials said. Most of the passengers later boarded a replacement FlyDubai plane and were flown to Ben Gurion International Airport, arriving Wednesday night. <\/p>\n<p>An Omani official confirmed to CBS News that the attacker, whose name has not been released, was born in Oman and holds Omani citizenship. According to Netanyahu, he is currently being interrogated in Saudi Arabia. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;ll be, I assume, moved very quickly to Dubai,&#8221; Netanyahu told CBS News, adding that Israeli authorities will &#8220;join the interrogation and find out what happened there exactly.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It could be, I don&#8217;t know, we&#8217;ll find out soon,&#8221; Netanyahu responded when asked if he thought the incident could have stemmed from a mental health issue and not an act of terrorism. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve had signs that Iran, and particularly through its proxies, was intending to heighten terrorist attacks against Israel and Israeli nationals abroad,&#8221; Netanyahu added. &#8220;But I think it&#8217;s too early to say whether there was Iranian collusion here. I think we&#8217;ll find out, won&#8217;t take a long time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>No definitive motive for the stabbing has been determined by authorities. An Israeli security official previously told CBS News that investigators were looking into the possibility that the incident could have been an attempted Sept. 11-style terror attack. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At this early stage, the underlying reasons and motives behind this event are unknown and remain subject to a formal investigation,&#8221; FlyDubai said in its own statement. It urged &#8220;all parties to refrain from premature speculation while authorities gather the facts.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!--
