Os motivos e o histórico do copiloto que esfaqueou o comandante de um avião de passageiros a caminho de Israel, nessa quarta-feira (30), ainda não são conhecidas. Autoridades israelenses descreveram o incidente como uma aparente tentativa de fazer o avião cair com mais de 170 pessoas a bordo. O desastre foi evitado no voo FZ1073 da Flydubai, de Dubai para Tel Aviv, depois que o comandante ferido conseguiu destrancar a porta da cabine, permitindo que os passageiros dominassem o agressor e que uma tripulação de reserva que estava a bordo pousasse o avião na Arábia Saudita. Notícias relacionadas:Avião F-4 grego cai durante show aéreo perto de Atenas.Pelo menos 5 pessoas morrem em acidente com avião de carga em Miami.O primeiro-ministro israelense, Benjamin Netanyahu, disse que o agressor está sendo investigado na Arábia Saudita, onde o avião pousou no aeroporto de Tabuk, e que acreditava que ele seria levado para os Emirados Árabes Unidos. “Estaremos acompanhando e, possivelmente, também participando dessa investigação”, disse Netanyahu em entrevista ao apresentador da Fox News Sean Hannity. Questionado se havia alguma indicação de envolvimento iraniano, Netanyahu disse que era muito cedo para afirmar. “Vamos chegar à origem da questão sobre esse agressor, se ele tinha cúmplices, se o Irã estava por trás disso. Acho que descobriremos muito em breve”, declarou Netanyahu. Não houve nenhuma sugestão oficial por parte de Israel de envolvimento iraniano. O ministro da Defesa israelense, Israel Katz, disse na quarta-feira que as informações preliminares de Israel indicavam que o copiloto tinha a intenção de fazer o avião cair, descrevendo-o como um terrorista, embora Netanyahu tenha se referido ao caso apenas como “um grave incidente de segurança”. Os Emirados Árabes Unidos iniciaram investigações que buscam apurar as circunstâncias e os motivos e determinar “se o incidente estava ligado a qualquer atividade ou propósito terrorista, ou envolveu planejamento ou orientação prévia”, informou a agência de notícias estatal dos Emirados Árabes Unidos.. As autoridades judiciais dos Emirados Árabes Unidos têm jurisdição sobre o incidente porque a aeronave está registrada no país e voa sob sua bandeira, afirmou o comunicado, acrescentando que a legislação dos Emirados Árabes Unidos se aplica a crimes cometidos a bordo, mesmo que ocorram fora do seu território. Na quarta-feira, uma autoridade israelense identificou o agressor como um cidadão de Omã. As autoridades de Omã não se pronunciaram sobre a notícia. O voo despencou quase 14 mil pés em menos de 30 segundos enquanto sobrevoava a Arábia Saudita, antes que os passageiros e a tripulação conseguissem neutralizar o agressor e pousar o avião. A Arábia Saudita não divulgou nenhum comunicado sobre suas investigações. * (Reportagem adicional de Jana Choukeir) * É proibida a reprodução deste conteúdo.
