Moroni, Comoros - The stunning revelation made by people close to the investigation on June 30's accident
(WAPA) - Yemenia Airbus A-310/300, flight IY626, might have been shot down by a French missile. The aircraft, with 153 people on board, ditched in the waters of the Indian ocean on June 30, while en route from Sana'a (Yemen) to Moroni (Comore). This is the stunning revelation made by an expert close to the investigation and published by the "Yemen Post" newspaper.
According to the Yemeni daily, Israeli and French warships would have been off the Comorian coast on the day of the tragedy to perform some military exercise. This news would have also been confirmed by the French embassy in Sana'a, even if the diplomatic representation said that these operations would have ended 24 hours before the crash.
"French authorities are blaming Yemenia for the crash -said the source- while they have tried to hide all evidence that links them to the plane crash. All signs show that France is responsible for the crash, as it is using its strong international presence to hide its mistakes, especially after the crash of the France airliner off the coast of Brazil that happened just last month".
Another not clear element, "Yemen Post" reported, is the fact that Bahiyyah Bakri, the lone survivor to the air disaster, is now in France and can't be heard as witness, even if required by Yemeni inquirers, because French authorities said she is suffering psychological disease.
In the meanwhile Yemenia employees protested under the French embassy, asking for transparency on the cause of this accident. According to them, France is having an "Ambiguous" behaviour on the matter. (Avionews)

very sad .. very sad ... neither sumairi or his group bother to defend Yemenia on the net?
Thankyou lisha for trying to help a CO. that no body cares about. capt Sumairi and his group mesmerized capt Alkadi that every thing is ok and they are working hard for the company but every body knows they are eating the company money and mr alkadi gived sumairi the green light to do what he fells like to do as mr alkadi is busy in his own bussiness.
Whats hidden is worse.
instead Capt Sumairi group should come out and fight for the image of yemenia which the french is degrading. at least for what they are eating from yemenia.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE INVESTIGATIONS SO FAR? WE ARE NOT HEARING ANY FURTHER NEWS SINCE THE INCIDENT. I SINCERELY HOPE THAT YEMENIA IS STRONGLY FOLLOWING UP THE MATTER WITH THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT. MAY BE THE BLACKBOXES ARE ALREADY IN THE HANDS OF THE FRENCH OFFICIALS AS THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHERE THE LOCATION WAS.
YEMENIA CHAIRMAN SHOULD STRONGLY FIGHT WITH THESE FRENCH AUTHORITIES WHO HAVE TARNISHED THE IMAGE OF YEMENIA IN FRONT OF THE WORLD. NOW THE CHAIRMAN HAS TO WAKE UP AND BE HONEST TO HIS JOB.
THE YEMENIA CREW WHO LOST THEIR LIVES, SHOULD NOT GO IN VAIN. THEIR FAMILIES HAVE FULL RIGHT TO KNOW ABOUT THE DEAD BODIES AND WHAT ARE THE RESCUE TEAMS DOING AND NOT TO FORGET THE ROBOT SHIP????? DOING ??????
YEMENIA HAS TO BE CAREFUL OF THE FRENCH. AS BEFORE IN THE PAST THE FRENCH GOT THE BLACKBOX OF AIR FRANCE 296 WHICH CRASHED IN 1998 AND SWITCHED OFF THE BLACKBOX AND MADE IT APPEAR AS THE PILOT FAULT. IT WAS ONLY AFTER 10YEARS THAT THE TRUTH CAME OUT. THIS WEBSITE HAS COMPLETE DETAILS--------
http://www.airdisaster.com/investigations/af296/af296.shtml
THE FRENCH CAN TRY TO DO THE SAME IN THIS COMOROS CRASH. SOMEBODY UNBIASED SHOULD BE CONTINUOSLY PRESENT WITH THESE FRENCH RESCUE TEAMS. YEMENIA SHOULD STAND UP FOR ITSELF AND FIGHT SO WHAT IF THEY ARE FROM POOR COUNTRY DISREGARD THIS RACISM FROM FRENCH GOVERNMENT.
