The co-pilot of the doomed Germanwings flight that crashed into the French Alps seemed to "show a desire to want to destroy" the plane, the lead investigator said on Thursday.
He was named as Andreas Lubitz, and was a German citizen who was "not known by us" to have any links to terrorism or extremists, prosecutor Brice Robin told reporters, adding that German authorities were expected to provide additional information on his background and private life later Thursday or Friday.
