What the coverage shows

CBS News and 60 Minutes both foreground the same basic conclusion from Israeli investigators or sources: the FlyDubai co-pilot was likely acting alone, not under direction from a group or government. The Independent matches that framing, saying the preliminary investigation does not indicate ties to any organisation or government. CBS also separately highlights a survivor account and, in one extract, notes the UAE’s earlier description of a “terrorist act,” while The Independent is the only outlet to mention the pilot as Omani.
