Trump says he thinks Iran was responsible for Flydubai attack

US president Donald Trump said he personally believes Iran was responsible for the recently thwarted terrorist attack on a Flydubai airlines, even as investigators haven't announced any conclusion that the suspect is tied to Iran or another foreign entity.

"I do. I personally do," Trump said when asked on Oct. 5 by a reporter whether he believes Iran was responsible for the foiled attack.

The United Arab Emirates is leading an international investigation into the Sept. 30 attack of Flydubai airlines pilot Smit Machchhar, who was stabbed by his co-pilot in an apparent effort to crash the plane carrying 170 passengers. The plane was flying from Dubai to Tel Aviv.
