Israel's Netanyahu says too early to tell who is behind foiled bid to crash Dubai-Tel Aviv flight

WASHINGTON, Sept 30 - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday it was too early to say who was behind the foiled bid to crash a flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv but that Israel would "possibly" be participating in the probe into the incident.


"It's too early to say, the attacking pilot is .. now being investigated in Saudi Arabia. I think he'll be taken to the Emirates, where he comes from, or at least where he left, where he flew off from, and we'll be following and possibly also participating in this investigation," Netanyahu said in an interview to Fox News host Sean Hannity on the network's "Hannity" program.
