Initial indications suggest Flydubai co-pilot acted alone in attack

Initial findings suggest the Flydubai co-pilot accused of trying to crash a flight to Israel may have acted alone and was not directed by a group or foreign government. Emirati authorities said the Omani national allegedly attacked the captain with a crash ax and tried to take control of the plane, which was carrying 174 passengers. The attack was stopped after crew members and passengers intervened. Investigators are still examining his alleged plans and possible online influences, while Israel has introduced new restrictions on crew members from several countries.
