> U.S. President Donald Trump says Iran may be connected to the FlyDubai co-pilot accused of trying to crash an Israel-bound plane. The United States and Saudi Arabia are investigating. Saudi Arabia’s initial findings say the co-pilot “assaulted” Capt. Smit Machchhar before the captain managed to open the cockpit door.
