An El Al flight was grounded in Tel Aviv after smoke filled the
cabin.

Sunday morning’s mishap forced the 737 to halt its take-off run
and deploy emergency slides for passengers to evacuate. El Al officials
said the smoke apparently was generated by cleaning fluid that leaked onto
the engine. The flight had been bound for Zurich.
