美国总统唐纳德·特朗普于周四表示,在有关部门对该事件持续调查之际,伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队(IRGC)“可能”对迪拜航空1073航班上发生的血腥驾驶舱袭击事件负责。
US President Donald Trump on Thursday said Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) "could have been" responsible for the bloody cockpit attack aboard FlyDubai flight 1073, as authorities continued to investigate the incident.
福克斯新闻记者彼得·杜西询问特朗普,他是否听取了关于伊朗与被控刺伤机长的阿曼籍副驾驶之间可能存在联系的简报,特朗普对此回应称:“我们正在处理此事。目前他们对我们非常坦诚。根据我所听到的情况,我的回答是肯定的。”
Asked by Fox News' Peter Doocy whether he had been briefed on a possible connection between Iran and the Omani co-pilot accused of stabbing the pilot, Trump said, "We're working on it. Right now they're being very open with us. I would say the answer based on what I'm hearing is yes."
当被问及袭击者是否受过伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队训练时,特朗普回答说:“有可能。”
When asked whether the attacker could have been trained by the IRGC, Trump replied, "Could have been."
特朗普还向德黑兰发出警告,称如果被查明该事件确系伊朗幕后操纵,伊朗将遭到“沉重打击”。他说:“他们知道发生了什么。”
Trump also issued a warning to Tehran, saying Iran would be "hit very hard" if it was found to be behind the incident. "They know what happened," he said.
此前,调查人员正在对这起针对迪拜飞往以色列航班的袭击事件的相关情况进行审查。
The comments came as investigators examined the circumstances surrounding the attack on the Dubai-to-Israel flight.
乘客们报告称驾驶舱内发生了袭击,随后飞机高度骤降,最终在沙特阿拉伯降落。据报道,该飞机在大约一分钟内急降至17,000英尺。
Passengers reported an assault in the cockpit, after which the aircraft lost altitude before eventually landing in Saudi Arabia. The aircraft reportedly plunged to 17,000 feet in about a minute.
据说乘客和机组人员进行了干预,制服了袭击者并协助稳定了飞机。
Passengers and crew members are said to have intervened to restrain the attacker and help stabilise the aircraft.
以色列总理本杰明·内塔尼亚胡于周四上午接受《福克斯与朋友们》节目采访时表示,现在判断袭击者是否有恐怖主义背景还为时过早。
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, speaking to Fox & Friends on Thursday morning, said it was too early to determine whether the attacker had terrorist connections.
不过,内塔尼亚胡表示,随着调查的深入,当局很快就会对这些可疑联系有更多了解。
Netanyahu, however, said authorities would know more about the suspected links soon as the investigation continued.- Ends
