几分钟前，Machchhar的同事飞行员刺伤了他，企图撞毁这架从迪拜飞往特拉维夫的飞机。来自孟买的印度公民Machchhar目前正在沙特阿拉伯西北部城市塔布克的一家医院接受治疗，飞机在那里安全着陆。
Moments earlier, Machchhar’s fellow pilot had stabbed him, in an apparent effort to crash the plane which was travelling from Dubai to Tel Aviv. Machchhar, an Indian citizen from Mumbai, is being treated in a hospital in Saudi Arabia’s north-western city of Tabuk, where the plane landed safely.
