Germanwings co-pilot Andreas Lubitz, a 28-year-old German national, deliberately crashed Flight 9525 into the French Alps on Tuesday morning, killing all 150 people on board. French officials say he wanted to "destroy the plane."

Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin said Lubitz "intentionally" descended the plane while the other pilot was locked out of the cockpit. The prosector did not classify the co-pilot's actions as a suicide and declined to give any information about his ethnicity or religion
