FBI Rules Out Terrorism in Seattle Plane Crash: The Culprit was Suicidal

The airline employee who stole a plane on Friday in Seattle and crashed soon afterward did not have any links to terrorist organizations and was seeking to commit suicide, the FBI said on Saturday. The FBI said via Twitter that “the information gathered thus far does NOT suggest a terrorist threat”. The Pierce County Sheriff’s Department previously said that preliminary investigations suggested that the 29-year-old man who stole the plane was suicidal and had crashed because he was “doing stunts in air” or because of a “lack of flying skills”, Efe reported.
