BREAKING: Suspected plane attacker in custody

THIS SUSPECTED HIJACKING TOOK. PLACE. WE ARE GOING TO BE WATCHING FOR. HIS REMARKS WHEN THEY BEGIN. LET'S BRING IN RETIRED MARINE. COLONEL MIKE JERNIGAN. WHATEVER THE PRESIDENT HAS TO. SAY WILL HAVE A LOT OF WEIGHT. >> I THINK HE'S GOING TO GIVE US. SOME INFORMATION THAT WILL BE. REALLY INTERESTING FOR WHAT. HAPPENED OBVIOUSLY BUT I THINK. IT'LL BE INDICATIONS OF WHAT'S. GOING FORWARD. WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS BOTH FOR. THE ISRAELIS AND THE AMERICANS? >> John: MIKE, THE FORMER.

PRIME MINISTER NAFTALI BENNETT. WAS TALKING ABOUT THIS A LITTLE. WHILE AGO. WITH HARRIS FAULKNER. APPARENTLY HE KNEW A COUPLE OF. THE PEOPLE WHO WERE ON BOARD THE. ILL FATED PLANE. HERE'S WHAT HE SAID ABOUT IT. LISTEN. >> I SPOKE TO A BUNCH OF. PASSENGERS, SOME WERE MY FORMER. EMPLOYEES IN MY TECH COMPANY. I SPOKE TO THEM. THIS WAS SO CLOSE TO BEING A. DISASTER WITH 180 KILLED PEOPLE. THIS IS NOT A MIRACLE.

THIS IS A RESULT OF HEROISM OF. THE ISRAELI PASSENGERS AND OF. THE EMIRATI CREW. SO IT'S PEOPLE WHO SAVED THE. DAY, PEOPLE WHO SHOWED COURAGE, WHO DIDN'T STAND PASSIVELY BUT. TOOK ACTION. AND I'M SO DARN PROUD TO BE. ISRAELI TODAY. >> John: THIS REALLY HAS. ECHOES OF UNITED AIRLINES FLIGHT. 93 THANKFULLY THIS TURNED OUT. BETTER THAN FLIGHT 93 DID. PASSENGERS, INCLUDING THE CREW. DEADHEADING TO TEL AVIV FOR THE.

RETURN FLIGHT TOOK ACTION. THANKFULLY THE PILOT, MORTALLY. WOUNDED THOUGH HE WAS, MANAGED. TO OPEN THE COCKPIT DOOR COME AT. LEAST UNLOCK IT, ALLOWING THEM. ENTRY. THIS COULD HAVE TURNED OUT SO. DIFFERENTLY. >> ABSOLUTELY. THAT'S INCREDIBLE HEROISM. TWO THINGS ARE IN PLAY HERE. ONE WE HAVE SEEN THE. WEAPONIZATION OF AIRCRAFT. IT'S UNFORTUNATE TO SEE IT. AGAIN. BUT WE'VE ALSO SEEN THE HEROISM. OF INDIVIDUALS. AND I'M GLAD TO BE SEEING IT. AGAIN. I'M GLAD THAT THE CREW AND SOME.

OF THE PASSENGERS WERE ABLE TO. TAKE STEPS AND PARTICULARLY. THANKFUL THAT THAT INJURED PILOT. WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR AND. CALL FOR HELP. SO HELP COULD ARRIVE AND I'M. PARTICULARLY THANKFUL. YOU SAID THERE WAS THAT DEAD. HEADED CREW THAT PUSHED THE. PEOPLE OUT OF THE WAY AND TOOK. CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT ALLOWING. THE REST OF THE CREW AND THE. PASSENGERS TO SUBDUE THE TWO. GUYS FIGHTING. BECAUSE AT THE TIME YOU DON'T. KNOW WHO AND WHAT'S GOING ON BUT. YOU KNOW THE AIRPLANE HAS. DROPPED 14,000 FEET IN 30.

SECONDS. >> Sandra: SOME BREAKING NEWS. FOR THE ISRAELI PLANE ATTACKER. IS NOW IN CUSTODY. WE CAN REPORT. U.S. OFFICIAL IS TELLING FOX THE. ATTACKER IS IN CUSTODY. WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY WHEN THE. FLIGHT LANDED IN SAUDI ARABIA. LET ME GET YOUR QUICK REACTION. TO THAT. >> THAT'S SUPER GOOD NEWS AND I. WILL BE INTERESTED TO SEE IF. HE'S ON ANY OF OUR LISTS THAT WE. ARE WATCHING. PEOPLE WHO HAVE TENDENCIES TO DO. THESE KINDS OF THINGS. >> Sandra: APPARENTLY THE. ORIGINALAL NATIONALITY OF THE. PILOT WAS INDIAN. HE WAS AN EMIRATI CITIZEN.

NATIONALITY THE COPILOT AS WE. UNDERSTAND IT IS OMANI. NOT TO SAY THAT OMAN IN ANY WAY. WAS INVOLVED IN THIS. BUT WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THE FACT. THAT HE IS FROM OMAN, WHICH HAS. TRADITIONALLY HAD A FAIRLY CLOSE. RELATIONSHIP WITH IRAN? >> YEAH. THIS IS GOING TO BE INTERESTING. THIS IS WHY THIS IS. BREAKING NEWS, JOHN. I THINK IN THE MINUTES AND HOURS. AND PERHAPS WHEN THE PRESIDENT. COMES OUT TO SPEAK, I THINK. WE'RE GOING TO LEARN SOME KEY. DETAILS. IS THIS A CRAZY INDIVIDUAL?

IS THIS PART OF A WIDER PLAN. WHICH IS MY CONCERN? IT'S WHAT PEOPLE ARE EXAMINING. RIGHT NOW. IS THIS THE FIRST OF MANY. IS THIS A ONE OFF. ALL OF THOSE QUESTIONS COME AT. THE INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES AND. LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES AND THE. MILITARY ARE ALL EXAMINING IT. RIGHT NOW. >> Sandra: IT'S SAFE TO SAY. THAT A LOT OF DETAILS. SURROUNDING THIS WHILE WE KNOW. SOME COME A LOT OF THE DETAILS. ARE STILL A MYSTERY AT THIS. POINT. >> I AGREE, SANDRA. I THINK THERE'S GOING TO BE A. COUPLE OF DETAILS THAT ARE. REALLY IMPORTANT. OBVIOUSLY THE WHY.

WHAT'S THE MOTIVE? SIMILARLY WHAT WAS THE INTENDED. EFFECT? THIRDLY, WAS THE AIRPLANE THE. TARGET? OR WAS THE AIRPLANE THE WEAPON? >> John: YEAH. THAT'S A BIG QUESTION. DID THIS GUY JUST WANT TO CRASH. THE AIRCRAFT AND TAKE THE LIVES. OF ALL THE SOULS ON BOARD? OR WAS HE GOING TO TRY TO USE IT. AS A WEAPON AND HIT SOMETHING. ELSE? I WANT TO ASK ABOUT WHAT THE. U.K. PRIME MINISTER SAID A. LITTLE WHILE AGO. THERE DOES APPEAR TO BE A NEXUS.

TO A FOREIGN GOVERNMENT INVOLVED. IN THE RAF FAIRFORD THREAT. ANDY BURNHAM POINTING TO IRAN. WITHOUT SAYING SPECIFICALLY IT. WAS IRAN. IT WOULDN'T TAKE TOO MUCH OF A. LEAP TO THINK IT WOULD BE. SOMEBODY WHO WAS ACTING ON. BEHALF OF THE IRANIAN REGIME. >> YEAH GARY THERE ARE ENEMIES. OF AMERICA AND POTENTIAL ENEMIES. OF AMERICA EVERY DAY AROUND THE. WORLD. THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE. JEALOUS OF WHAT WE HAVE AND. THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT. FEEL THAT IT'S THEIR MORAL. OBLIGATION IN THEIR TWISTED.

SENSE OF JUSTICE TO KILL. AMERICANS. AND IT WOULD NOT BE SURPRISING. TO ME IF AN ENEMY OF THE. AMERICANS IS DETERMINED TO BE. BEHIND THIS IN SOME FASHION. IRAN IS AT THE TOP OF THE LIST. FOR CURR.
