What the coverage shows

Both outlets focus on Australian authorities investigating the Flydubai co-pilot’s links to the country, with the Guardian US framing it around his time in Australia and BBC News using the broader wording of links to the country. The Guardian US alone says police have confirmed an investigation into the period he reportedly spent in Australia and describes the incident as an alleged attempted terrorist attack. BBC News alone says state police and the security agency are looking into the co-pilot and mentions the plane was travelling to Israel.
