Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Korva Coleman.
The co-pilot who tried to take control of the commercial jet from Dubai to Tel Aviv last week intended
to crash it into Israel's Ben Gurion Airport, an investigation found.
That's according to a person familiar with the matter,
but not authorized to speak publicly as the investigation is still ongoing.
NPR's Kat Lonsdorf reports from Tel Aviv.
A source familiar with the investigation told NPR that the co-pilot
who attacked the captain midair intended to fly the plane to Ben Gurion, was its destination,
but then crash it into the airport.
That source also said it's likely the co-pilot acted alone.
Officials from both the United Arab Emirates and Israel have said that the incident was an attempted terrorist attack,
although the motive is still unclear.
The co-pilot is from Oman, according to Israeli officials,
raising questions about how he was allowed to fly a plane heading to Israel.
Israel only allows pilots from countries it has diplomatic relations with to enter its airspace.
