以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡说，一种可能是袭击者使用了通常存放在驾驶舱内的应急破拆斧。
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel said one possibility was that the assailant used an emergency crash ax, typically stored in the cockpit.
周四，以色列和阿联酋当局正试图查明，一架原定飞往特拉维夫、后来备降的阿联酋航空航班为何有武器进入驾驶舱，并调查副驾驶刺伤机长一事。
The authorities in Israel and the United Arab Emirates were trying to understand on Thursday how a weapon entered the cockpit of the diverted FlyDubai flight to Tel Aviv, as they investigated the co-pilot’s stabbing of the captain.
这起袭击仍有许多疑点尚未解开，包括袭击者的动机、最终目的以及他是如何获得武器的。周三上午，这架飞机从迪拜起飞后，在飞行途中突然下坠数千英尺。乘客和机组人员冲向驾驶舱，接管了这架波音737飞机，机上两名备用飞行员随后将其迫降在沙特阿拉伯西北部塔布克的一处机场。
Many questions remain unanswered about the attack, including the attacker’s motive, his ultimate intention and how he came to have a weapon. As the plane plunged thousands of feet while en route from Dubai on Wednesday morning, passengers and crew members rushed the cockpit and took control of the aircraft, a Boeing 737, and two reserve pilots on board landed it at an airport in Tabuk, in northwestern Saudi Arabia.
以色列官员只透露，副驾驶是一名阿门国民；他目前已被沙特当局拘捕。塔布克机场表示，两名飞行员因伤接受了治疗。所有乘客随后乘坐另一架阿联酋航空飞机飞往以色列。
The co-pilot, whom Israeli officials identified only as an Omani national, was arrested by the Saudi authorities. The airport in Tabuk said that two pilots were treated for injuries. All the passengers were flown to Israel in another FlyDubai plane.
内塔尼亚胡总理周四接受福克斯新闻采访时表示，他不知道袭击者使用了什么武器，也不知道他是如何进入驾驶舱并接触到武器的。
In an interview with Fox News on Thursday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that he did not know what weapon the attacker used or how he was able to access it in the cockpit.
内塔尼亚胡说，当局正在调查两种可能性：副驾驶绕过金属探测器，将武器通过迪拜机场安检夹带进来；或者他使用了机上存放的尖锐物品，例如斧头。
The authorities were exploring two possibilities, Mr. Netanyahu said: The co-pilot smuggled the weapon through Dubai’s airport security by evading a metal detector or he used a sharp object that was stored aboard the plane, such as an ax.
“他可能随身携带了一把刀或一把斧头，也可能是从这架飞机上可能作为标准设备配备的物品中拿到了一把斧头，”内塔尼亚胡说。他提醒，目前断定真相还为时过早。
“He could have carried a knife or an ax, or he might have gotten an ax from the equipment that might be standard on this airplane,” said Mr. Netanyahu, who cautioned that it was too soon to know for certain.
