Early indications suggest Flydubai co-pilot acted alone in attack, officials say

TEL AVIV — Early indications suggest the Flydubai co-pilot accused of attacking his captain and trying to seize control of an Israel-bound plane acted alone, rather than as part of a larger organization or on behalf of a foreign government, multiple U.S. officials briefed on the investigation and a former Israeli security official told NBC News.
The U.S. officials cautioned that the investigation into Wednesday’s midair attack remains at an early stage.
