> Initial findings suggest the Flydubai co-pilot accused of attacking the captain and trying to seize control of an Israel-bound flight acted alone, rather than for an organized group or foreign government, officials said. Emirati authorities described it as an attempted terrorist attack, but stressed that the investigation remains at an early stage.
