A knife-wielding woman stabbed the two pilots of a small commuter plane in New Zealand and threatened to blow it up in an apparent hijack attempt Friday, police said according to AP. The Jetstream aircraft operated by Eagle Air, an affiliate of national carrier Air New Zealand, carrying seven passengers from the regional city of Blenheim to Christchurch on South Island, landed safely and a 33-year-old woman was arrested, police spokesman Inspector Kieren Kortegast. Christchurch police commander Dave Cliff said one of the two pilots on board the plane suffered a cut hand, and the other an injured foot. He said the woman, who was living in Blenheim but was originally from Somalia, entered the cockpit and attacked the pilots before being restrained. She had said there was a bomb on board, Cliff said. An army bomb disposal team conducted an initial search of the plane and found no explosives.
