Don't be too sure it was an accident. I tend to believe, given the makeup of the flight's passengers, that it was an act of sabotage. Muslims have been mighty peeved with France's recent prohibition on Muslim dress.

A "technical malfunction" occurred after the pilot and co-pilot wrestled for control of the stick, causing the tail fin elevators to stress and break.

Unknown Islamists claim Egyptian plane attack
Mon 5 January, 2004 15:19

CAIRO (Reuters) - An anonymous caller claiming to represent a previously unknown Islamic group says they brought down the Egyptian plane which crashed into the Red Sea on Saturday, killing 148 people.

The man told an international news agency in Cairo that the Yemen-based group Ansar al-Haq (Followers of the Truth) would also attack Air France planes unless the French government drops plans to ban Islamic headscarves from state schools.

There was no way to check the claim of the caller, who said he was an Egyptian member of the group.

The Egyptian government has ruled out a deliberate attack on the Boeing 737 charter plane, which crashed shortly after take-off from the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh. The dead included 133 French tourists.

Opschudding in Almere over
islamitische kalender
Van een onzer verslaggevers

ALMERE - Een in Egypte gedrukte kalender met een afbeelding van een neerstortend vliegtuig met New York op de achtergrond, die eind mei - ruim 3 maanden voor de aanslag - bij of in een islamitische school in Almere zou zijn verspreid, heeft voor opschudding bij het gemeentebestuur gezorgd.

De gewraakte kalender.
Burgemeester Hans Ouwerkerk heeft gisteren naar aanleiding van de kalender, waarvan een exemplaar in het bezit kwam van deze krant, de zaak aangemeld bij de Binnenlandse Veiligheidsdienst (BVD).

Deze dienst stelt in een eerste reactie dat er geen direct verband is met de recente aanslagen in de Verenigde Staten. De afbeelding zou refereren aan de neergestorte EgyptAir-Boeing, die op 31 oktober 1999 door de piloot de oceaan ingevlogen werd. Bij deze zelfmoordaktie kwamen de 217 inzittenden om het leven. De laatste woorden van de piloot (”Ik steun op Allah - Om te sterven voor Allah”) zouden op de kalender aangehaald worden.

Islamic calendar
From one of our reporters

 
 
ALMERE - An Egyptian calendar printed with an image of a plane crashing in New York in the background, in late May - more than 3 months before the attack - with or in an Islamic school in Almere would be distributed, has caused a stir at the municipal ensured.

The offending calendar.
Mayor Hans Ouwerkerk yesterday following the calendar, a copy of which came into the possession of this newspaper, the matter reported to the National Security Service (BVD).

This service enables a first response that there is no direct connection with the recent attacks in the United States. The image should refer to the crashed EgyptAir Boeing, on 31 October 1999 by the pilot was flown in the ocean. In this suicidal action came the 217 passengers were killed. The last words of the pilot (”I support in Allah - To die for Allah”) would be quoted on the calendar.
