以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡周四对福克斯新闻表示,针对从阿联酋飞往以色列的迪拜航空航班未遂劫机事件的初步调查发现,该航班的副驾驶在近几个月经历了宗教层面的伊斯兰激进化。
The initial investigation into the attempted hijacking of the FlyDubai flight from the UAE to Israel found that the co-pilot went through religious Islamic radicalization in recent months, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Fox News Thursday.
事件意义:内塔尼亚胡的言论得到了以色列情报官员和副驾驶同事的证实,这加大了该事件是一起恐怖袭击的可能性。
Why it matters: Netanyahu's remarks, confirmed by an Israeli intelligence official and people who worked with the co-pilot, strengthen the possibility that the incident was a terrorist attack.
推动事件发展的消息:调查由沙特安全部门主导,沙特一直在审讯这名涉嫌在飞机从迪拜飞往特拉维夫途中袭击另一名飞行员的副驾驶。
Driving the news: The investigation is being led by the Saudi security services, which have been interrogating the co-pilot who allegedly attacked the other pilot while the plane was en route from Dubai to Tel Aviv.
阿联酋已成立一个团队来调查此事件。阿联酋外交部女发言人阿夫拉·哈迈利(Afra Alhameli)在一份声明中表示:“调查包括审查与该事件相关的所有情况和动机,包括与恐怖主义活动或意图的任何可能联系,以及它是否涉及事先规划或指挥。”
The United Arab Emirates has formed a team to investigate the incident. "The investigation includes examining all circumstances and motives surrounding the incident, including any possible connection to terrorist activity or intent, and whether it involved prior planning or direction," a spokeswoman for Emirati Foreign Minister Afra Alhameli said in a statement.
幕后情况:一名以色列情报官员表示,摩萨德(Mossad)和辛贝特(Shin Bet)情报机构也正在进行调查。
Behind the scenes: An Israeli intelligence official said the Mossad and Shin Bet spy agencies are also investigating.
这位官员说:“这名阿曼籍副驾驶近年来经历了一个宗教激进化的过程。我们尚不清楚他是‘独狼’还是受人指使发动袭击。”
"The Omani co-pilot went through a process of religious radicalization in recent years. We don't know yet if he is a 'lone wolf' or whether he was sent by someone to conduct an attack," the official said.
引人关注之处:周三,以色列16频道报道了一位认识该阿曼副驾驶的迪拜航空飞行员的证词。
The intrigue: On Wednesday, Israel's Channel 16 reported testimony of another FlyDubai pilot who knew the Omani co-pilot.
报道称,这名副驾驶在该公司仅工作了八个月,且比大多数同事更加笃信宗教。
According to the report, the co-pilot worked for the company for only eight months and was more religiously observant than most of his co-workers.
根据阿联酋和以色列商定的安全协议,与以色列没有外交关系的国家的机组人员不得执飞飞往以色列的航班。
What to . According to security protocols agreed to by the UAE and Israel, crew members from countries that don't have diplomatic relations with Israel can't serve on flights to Israel.
