迪拜——在哈马德·阿尔-哈马米站在FlyDubai 1073航班机长身后，举起应急斧发动袭击、几乎导致飞机坠毁之前，三国当局曾有充足机会阻止他接近驾驶舱。
DUBAI—Before Hamam al-Hammami stood behind his captain on FlyDubai Flight 1073 and raised an emergency ax to begin the assault that nearly brought down the plane, there had been ample opportunity for authorities in three countries to keep him from getting anywhere near that cockpit.
阿曼曾审查其上网习惯，认定他对极端思想表现出过度兴趣，不宜担任国营阿曼航空飞行员（他曾任职于该航司）。
Oman had scrutinized his online habits and decided he showed too much interest in radical ideology to trust as a pilot at state carrier Oman Air, where he worked. They banned him from flying, sent him to a deradicalization program and put him in a desk job but didn’t flag their concerns more broadly, people familiar with the matter said.
知情人士透露，阿曼当局禁止其飞行、将其送入去极端化项目并安排文职工作，却未将担忧向更广范围通报。FlyDubai于2月聘用他时，未联系阿曼核实其履历。知情人士称，公司确实进行了犯罪背景调查。该航司随后安排他执飞敏感的特拉维夫航线，并多次往返。
When FlyDubai hired him in February, it didn’t contact Oman to vet his experience. The company did do a criminal-background check, a person familiar with the process said. The airline later put him on the sensitive route to Tel Aviv, where he flew multiple times, people familiar with the matter said.
知情人士称，阿联酋当局正在调查参与招聘流程的FlyDubai员工。FlyDubai表示，在调查进行期间不予置评。
Emirati authorities are currently investigating FlyDubai staff who were involved in the hiring process, people familiar with the investigation said. FlyDubai said it wouldn’t comment while the investigation was ongoing.
