Israeli plane hijacker ‘dreamed of September 11 attack’
The suspect, a 23-year-old Israeli Arab named Tawfiq Fukra, was being questioned by Turkish anti-terrorism police in Istanbul after security guards aboard the El Al flight foiled the hijack attempt late Sunday night.
The would-be hijacker attacked an air hostess and tried to force his way into the cockpit of the Boeing 737 with a pocket knife but was swiftly overpowered by El Al guards, Israeli officials said.
