Flydubai: Tel Aviv Massacre, Saudi Desert Plunge: Chilling 'Confessions' By Omani Pilot Out
How close did Flydubai FZ1073 come to disaster? Terrifyingly close. Based on the Omani co-pilot's alleged confessions, this is the minute-by-minute story of the attack that began with a prayer request and an emergency axe. Indian captain Smit Machchhar, 38, was struck from behind, yet stayed conscious and fought to open the cockpit door. Passengers rushed in, one pulled the control column back, and two off-duty pilots restored normal flight after a near-vertical dive of 16,000 feet. The co-pilot was overpowered, tied down and handed to Saudi authorities, while the captain was rushed to hospital with severe head injuries and a deep arm wound. The plane diverted to Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, and landed safely at 10:57 in the morning. Was Tel Aviv really the target? Did the engines go silent on purpose? Investigators are still probing it. Watch the full reconstruction.

Ex-'American Idol' contestant Caleb Flynn sentenced to life without parole for wife's murder
An Ohio man who was found guilty of murdering his wife and staging the crime scene to make it seem as if an intruder had broken into their home and fatally shot the mother of two was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Caleb Flynn, 40, a former pastor who once appeared as a contestant on American Idol in 2013, was found guilty of aggravated murder and multiple counts of murder, felonious assault and tampering with evidence in connection with the death of his wife, 37-year-old Ashley Flynn. Judge Jeannine Pratt called the former pastor's actions abhorrent and quite honestly impossible to fathom while handing down the life sentence on Monday. Caleb Flynn called 911 early on Feb. 16 to report that his wife had been shot by an intruder at their home in Tipp City, north of Dayton. He was arrested three days later. Prosecutors alleged that Caleb Flynn executed his wife by shooting her twice in the back of the head in bed so that he could be with his mistress and manipulated the crime scene to make it seem as if an intruder had broken in through the garage. Pool via ABC News - PHOTO: Caleb Flynn appears for his sentencing in the Miami County Court of Common Pleas, Oct. 5, 2026, in Troy, Ohio. Pratt said that after considering the evidence in the case, there is one clear and obvious conclusion -- that Caleb Flynn poses the highest risk of harm to the public -- and admonished the layers of deceit, manipulation and cruelty that he has shown. You could have walked away. You could have separated from her and left her here on this earth to be able to be with the people that need her, who loved her, who looked forward to having her in their lives. But instead, through your greed, your selfishness, your lust, and your cruelty, you chose to take Ashley's life, and in doing so, you did far more than take the life of your wife, Pratt said. On that fateful day in February, the person who should have been protecting their children shattered their lives. Caleb Flynn addressed the court prior to learning his sentence, crying while reading from prepared remarks that he shakily clutched while in handcuffs and an orange jumpsuit. He repeatedly denied killing his wife, saying, I have unfortunately lied about a lot of things over the last couple of years. But as I stand here before God, who is my ultimate judge, I am not lying when I say I did not kill my wife. I will continue to fight for my innocence as long as the Lord allows me to, since I did not kill my wife, he said. He apologized to his wife's family and asked for their forgiveness. I made vows to Ashley on our wedding day -- I failed those vows, and through my decisions, I have caused you guys an incredible amount of pain, he said. Through those decisions, I'm sure you have felt betrayal, confusion, anger and so much more. I take complete accountability for my words and my decisions, he said. I am so sorry, I am so sorry, and pray that you can one day forgive me. Pool via ABC News - PHOTO: Caleb Flynn appears for his sentencing in the Miami County Court of Common Pleas, Oct. 5, 2026, in Troy, Ohio. Caleb Flynn also addressed members of his family, including his young daughters. I don't know if they'll ever be able to hear this, but I want them to hear it regardless -- I love you two, he said, calling them his greatest joy in his life. He apologized for not being able to see them grow up and said through tears that he misses them more than you'll ever know. The judge said she received over a dozen victim impact statements, and several members of Ashley Flynn's family addressed the court prior to the sentence being handed down, speaking to the impact the murder of their mother has had on his daughters, Alyssa and Ava, and asking for the maximum possible sentence. In a searing letter read on her behalf, Alyssa said, You have already caused so much pain to your family and the world. The least you can do is tell everyone you did it and receive your outcome. Did you really even think about how much pain you would bring your own two daughters? the statement continued. By the way, Ashley Flynn was the best thing that ever happened to you. You had the best life ever, and you decided to throw it away for a girl who was half your age. In closing, she said her family has never been stronger and she doesn't plan to visit him in prison. Pool via ABC News - PHOTO: Caleb Flynn listens to the reading of his guilty verdict inside the Miami County Court of Common Pleas, Sept. 29, 2026, in Troy, Ohio. He faced up to life in prison without parole. Prosecutors asked for the maximum possible sentence, arguing in a sentencing memorandum filed ahead of the hearing that he is a dangerous individual with no regard for human life and has refused to accept accountability or show any remorse. It is important to note that Defendant could have lawfully left his marriage. Instead, he chose murder. He planned Ashley's murder for months. This was a planned and calculated execution, Prosecuting Attorney Paul Watkins stated. In his memo, Watkins said Caleb Flynn's effort to escape responsibility did not end with the staged scene or the false intruder narrative, but that his two daughters described him instructing them on what to say in their forensic interviews and that their statements could be the difference between life and death for him. Thus, after taking their mother from them, Defendant attempted to use his grieving daughters to reinforce the story he had created to protect himself, Watkins stated. The defense, meanwhile, said in its memorandum that Flynn continues to maintain his innocence and has no prior criminal history while asking for a sentence that preserves the possibility of parole and a return to society following his rehabilitation. Former 'American Idol' contestant found guilty of murdering wife The jury deliberated for nearly 2 1/2 hours before reaching a verdict on Sept. 29, finding him guilty of all charges. During closing arguments, Miami County Assistant Prosecutor Matthew Joseph pointed to evidence including the physical scene and a side garage door he said was made to look as if an intruder had damaged it, Caleb Flynn's 911 call, text messages between the defendant and his mistress discussing the end of his marriage and digital records from the night of the shooting, which he argued leads straight to the defendant. The evidence showed that being the victim would allow the defendant to keep his lucrative job working for Ashley's family business, he would benefit from Ashley's life insurance, and he could keep his position as a working worship leader with zero impact to his reputation within the church, Joseph said during closing arguments on Sept. 29 in the Miami County courtroom. The evidence does not tell the story of an intruder. Defense attorney Patrick Mulligan argued during his closing that the state's evidence is circumstantial, and that the only thing prosecutors proved was that Caleb Flynn was having an affair. Connecting a couple of meaningless dots doesn't solve the case, Mulligan told jurors. Ashley Flynn/Facebook - PHOTO: Ashley and Caleb Flynn. Caleb Flynn did not testify during the trial and the defense called no witnesses. He denied killing his spouse in an interview with police days after the deadly shooting, according to video shown during the more than weeklong trial. His former mistress testified for the state during the trial, reading from some of the more than 100,000 messages they exchanged over her two days of testimony. If I could literally kill her and not go to hell, I would do it in a heartbeat, Caleb Flynn said in one message from May 2025, Botner testified . Pool via ABC News - PHOTO: Caleb Flynn cries after being found guilty inside the Miami County Court of Common Pleas, Sept. 29, 2026, in Troy, Ohio. Following the guilty verdict, Mulligan told reporters that he expected there to be a notice of appeal filed. When asked what appellate issues they have, he said, There's a lack of evidence on prior calculation and design. Watkins thanked the jury for their dedication to justice in this case. Ex-mistress testifies against former 'American Idol' contestant: 'I believe that he murdered his wife' In a statement read by Watkins, Ashley Flynn's family said they refuse to let the evil that ended Ashley's life have the final word in her story. Ashley loved Jesus with her whole heart. Her faith wasn't simply something she simply spoke about. It was how she lived, the statement said. She loved people well, found joy beyond her circumstances, prayed boldly for her family, and wanted her life to point people to Jesus. Most of all, she loved being a mom, the statement continued. She prayed over her girls, taught them to love God, and showed them what it looked like to live with faith, kindness, joy, and grace.

India Rejects Pak's Cricket 'Handshake' Ultimatum As PCB Throws WCL Tantrum
Pakistan wanted a written apology from Indian players for refusing to play Pakistan during last years World Championship of Legends. The PCB also reportedly wanted India to commit to handshakes before clearing Pakistans team for the new season. India rejected both demands. Pakistan then pulled out of the tournament. The dispute began after the Pahalgam terror attack, when India Champions declined to face Pakistan in WCL matches and avoided ceremonial contact at subsequent events. Pakistan received a walkover in the 2025 semi-final but lost the final to South Africa. The organisers later apologised to fans and refunded part of the ticket money. The PCB accused the tournament of bias and hypocrisy. Now, a veterans cricket event has become another India-Pakistan political battleground.

12-year-old girl fatally shot during 'dispute over parking space' in Baltimore
A 12-year-old girl was killed in Baltimore over the weekend during an apparent disagreement over a parking space, police in the US city said. The victim, Khloe Ishway, was caught in the crossfire of bullets between two men who police said were allegedly fighting over a parking space in a park where children were playing American football. I'm gonna just miss my baby whole, Ishway's mother told CBS, the BBC's US partner, a day after the deadly shooting. In addition to the young girl, four adults were also shot but are in stable condition. Police are now searching for at least two suspects, Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley said at a news conference. No arrests have been made. What we know is there was some type of argument between two cowards, Worley said. They both opened fire on each other. In the crossfire, a 12-year-old little girl, who was probably down there watching football, was shot and killed. Worley said the girl was not a target of the shooting. Ishway was pronounced dead in hospital. The other four individuals who were injured had non-life-threatening injuries, Baltimore police said in a statement. I want justice for my baby, Ishway's mother, Kristin Reese, told CBS. Her family described how the 12-year-old enjoyed dancing, music and spending time with her loved ones and will be remembered as a loving daughter and granddaughter. She was always with me, that was my best friend, said Ishway's grandmother, Donna Reese. Her granddaughter, she noted, made a point of calling her every day. I'm going to miss my baby, she said. The incident happened after 18:00 EDT (23:00 BST) on Saturday. Authorities are still investigating the shooting and have asked any witnesses to bring information to police. It remains unclear how many shots were fired, Worley said. Two grown men got into an argument, and now a 12-year-old is gone, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott said at the news conference. We never should have to say something like that. What happened out here today is one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen in my life.

Ukraine claims its attacks have reduced Russia's refining capacity by 51%
Ukraine said that its long-range strikes have neutralised more than half of Russia's oil refining capacity, hampering Moscow's ability to supply its forces during its 4 1/2-year-old invasion. The Defence Ministry said Sunday that recent strikes on refineries in cities including Moscow, Yaroslavl, Ust-Luga, Perm, Saratov and Syzran had put 51% of Russia's oil refining capacity out of action. The claim could not be independently verified. Both Moscow and Kyiv have intensified their aerial assaults as progress along the 1,200-kilometre front line has largely ground to a halt. Ukrainian forces have repeatedly attacked refineries from Moscow to Siberia, sparking a widespread fuel crisis in Russia earlier this year that forced authorities to restrict gasoline sales. President Vladimir Putin said in a rare admission Thursday that the strikes had caused Russia to lose roughly 1 per cent of its gross domestic product.

'Jailer 2' trailer: 5 details you may have missed in Rajinikanth
Highlights Rajinikanth returns as Muthuvel Pandian, but the trailer shows him living a surprisingly quiet life The sequel introduces new characters played by SJ Suryah, Vidya Balan and Suraj Venjaramoodu A blink-and-miss shot has sparked speculation about a possible Hrithik Roshan appearance The trailer hints that Muthuvel Pandians past is about to catch up with him Here are five details you may have missed in the Jailer 2 trailer Rajinikanth is back as Muthuvel Pandian, but the Jailer 2 trailer suggests that the former jailer is trying to stay away from the chaos that followed him in the first film. Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, the sequel appears to raise the stakes with a bigger cast, more action and several new characters. While the trailer gives viewers plenty of explosions, fights and one-liners, it also quietly drops clues about the story and the people surrounding Tiger. Here are five details worth looking out for. 1. Tiger is hiding in plain sight One of the biggest surprises in the trailer is Muthuvel Pandians new life. Rather than being shown immediately as the formidable Tiger from the first film, he appears to have settled into a much quieter existence and is working as a driver. That peaceful life does not last for long. The trailer suggests that forces connected to his past are searching for him, eventually pushing him back into action. The contrast between the apparently ordinary driver and the ruthless Muthuvel Pandian is one of the trailers biggest clues about the sequel. 2. Vidya Balans character could be more important than she first appears Vidya Balan is among the major new additions to Jailer 2 , and the trailer gives viewers a brief glimpse of her character alongside Rajinikanth. One exchange involving her asking about tea or coffee has already caught attention, particularly because of the calm but pointed way the interaction plays out. The trailer does not reveal much about her character or her relationship with Muthuvel Pandian, suggesting that there could be more to her role than the preview is letting on. 3. Is that Hrithik Roshan? There is one blink-and-miss moment that has sent fans looking closely at the trailer. Some viewers believe a brief shot could feature Hrithik Roshan. The speculation appears to centre on a partially seen character, with fans trying to identify the actor from his appearance and build. However, there has been no official confirmation that Hrithik is part of Jailer 2 , so the possible appearance should be treated as fan speculation for now. If the mystery does turn out to be Hrithik, it would add another major name to a sequel that already has an impressive line-up of returning and new stars. 4. The threat from the first film has not disappeared The trailer also appears to connect the sequel to the conflict established in Jailer . Muthuvel Pandian previously took on an idol-smuggling network, and the new film seems to bring that world back into his life. This time, however, the scale appears to be much larger. The trailer shows new enemies, armed men and a growing threat around Tiger, while several scenes suggest that his decision to step away from his old life may not be enough to keep him safe. The story seems to be building towards another confrontation between Muthuvel Pandian and the criminal network he thought he had left behind. 5. The trailer saves its dark humour for the end Despite all the violence and action, Jailer 2 does not appear to be losing the dark humour that helped define the first film. The final moments of the trailer are a good example. Yogi Babus character points out that Tiger is killing people while casually cleaning a car, creating the kind of absurd contrast that has become part of the franchises appeal. The trailer also brings back the larger-than-life energy associated with Muthuvel Pandian, with Rajinikanth once again balancing comedy, swagger and action. Along with returning appearances from familiar faces, the sequel is clearly aiming to make the world of Jailer considerably bigger. Jailer 2 is scheduled to release on October 15, 2026, with Rajinikanth returning as Muthuvel Pandian.

'Hard work pays off': CPL sensation Pooran opens up ahead of T20I series opener against India
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 5 (IANS) Uncapped batter Kamil Pooran admitted to being left speechless and in shock upon receiving his maiden West Indies T20I call-up for the upcoming series against India, adding that the national team selection is the ultimate reward for years of relentless hard work on the domestic circuit. Pooran, 30, earned his spot in the T20Is following a breakout debut season in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL), where he finished as the top scorer for St Lucia Kings. Pooran amassed 273 runs in eight innings at an explosive strike rate of 159.64, and established himself as one of the most destructive new talents in the region. Firstly, I was speechless. I was in shock. That day when I got the news, I was in shock almost the whole training session, the whole day back home. But I was very happy also because I put in a lot of work and the hard work pays off, Pooran told CWI on Monday. Cricket West Indies (CWI) had said that Poorans inclusion is due to a deliberate approach towards identifying and developing emerging talent ahead of the 2028 T20 World Cup. Pooran's journey to the top has been built on perseverance. After making his first-class debut for Trinidad at 26, it took him another four years of consistent performances to earn his first CPL contract. To be honest, I was pretty shocked getting selected in the CPL, first of all. I told myself when I got selected, what's the worst thing that could happen if I put my all into it, train hard, dedicate? Put my everything into the sport right now, what could happen? This is the reward, this is the outcome. I'm just thankful right now for everything, he recalled. Sharing the news with his family was his immediate priority upon learning of his selection. The first person was my mother. I called her as soon as possible. When I got back to the hotel after the training session, I called her one time, and I told her. She was very, very happy and excited. My family supports me a lot back home. My uncle, aunties, everyone there supports me 100 percent. It means a lot to me to make each one of them proud, revealed Pooran. A self-proclaimed fan of off-side strokeplay, Pooran singled out his favourite shots ahead of his potential international debut in Lucknow on Tuesday. Batting, obviously. I love the square cut with the ball. That's my favourite shot. Square cut, cover drive - mainly offside. That's my strength, I would say. Having grown up idolising Brian Lara and Sachin Tendulkar, and now keenly following India Test and ODI captain Shubman Gill, Pooran admitted that sharing a dressing room with senior stars in the West Indies team still feels surreal. To me, I'm a fanboy. It may seem funny, but I grew up watching almost everyone here play cricket at the highest level. To be here is something that I dreamt of. To be here, to listen to the conversations, to laugh with them, to have that conversation about cricket in general life. It's something that is very hard to explain for me. I'm still in shock; I'm just happy that I'm here, concluded Pooran.

'Pinarayi, Mattannur, Kalliassery': Calicut varsity to inspect hostel after room names row
Digital Desk | Kozhikode, Oct 5 (IANS) Pinarayi, Mattannur, Kalliassery, Koothuparamba, and DC Office - the names may sound like places on a political map of Kerala, but at the University of Calicut, they are the names of rooms in the men's hostel. The names Pinarayi, Mattannur, Kalliassery and Koothuparamba are all CPI-M's strongholds that have found their way onto hostel doors, along with the DC Office. Whether the names represent political influence, student humour, or simply the imagination of hostel residents is now part of the debate. And now, those names have brought the hostel under the university authorities' scanner. The university has decided to inspect the hostel following complaints from students over the naming of rooms after areas identified with the CPI-M. The university said the inspection was being ordered after receiving complaints. The decision has added a new political interest to what might otherwise have remained an unusual hostel naming practice. If this were the time of a Left government, there might have been little mystery about where the campus debate would eventually lead. But with the Congress-led UDF government now in power, the question being quietly asked in campus and political circles is: what will the inspection finally find? The names themselves have become the talking point. The Students' Federation of India (SFI) says students often give names to blocks and rooms according to their interests and imagination and that similar practices could be seen in hostels across Kerala. The SFI also turned the spotlight on the university authorities, alleging that the hostel had not received proper painting or maintenance for a long time. The controversy, however, has moved beyond the question of what students chose to write inside hostels. With the university now deciding to inspect the premises, the findings are likely to be watched closely.
