ويندهوك: لقى خمسة اسرائيليين يعملون في تجارة الماس مصرعهم إثر تحطم طائرة خاصة كانت تقلهم بناميبيا، عندما حاولت الطائرة الهبوط في ميناء قريب من العاصمة ويندهوك .
ومن جانبها أعلنت الخارجية الاسرائيلية معرفتها بهوية القتلى، بعد وصول أيلون باروخ سفير اسرائيل بجنوب افريقيا الى موقع الحادث، كما تمكن المحققون من العثور على جوازات السفر الخاصة بالقتلي الا أن التحطم الكامل للطائرة وتفحم الركاب أعاقهم من التمييز بين الجثث.
تضاربت الأنباء حول أسباب تحطم الطائرة, ففي حين قال مسئول بمطار ناميبيا:" إن الطائرة أقلعت من مطار أروس بالعاصمة ويندهوك ورفض الافصاح عن مكان اقامة هؤلاء التجار"، أما المحققون من الشرطة فأكدوا أن الطائرة كانت من نوع تسانا 210 التابعة لشركة "أتلانتيك أبيشن"، وأن القتلى قدموا معا من إسرائيل.
ويقول شاهد عيان من ساكني المنطقة:" كنت في طريقي للبيت ورايت الطائرة تقترب من رؤسنا بشكل كبير، وفجاة اصطدمت بمنزل وانفجرت فور اصطدامها", فيما صرح رئيس اتحاد تجار الالماس موتي جنيس بأن القتلى يعملون بالفعل بتجارة الاحجار الكريمة, وأنهم في رحلة عمل سافروا خلالها مع مضيفيهم في جولة سفاري بطائرة خاصة، وكان الحادث في طريق عودتهم.

وأضاف جنيس:" وخلال السنوات الاخيرة اقيم بجنوب افريقيا العديد من الشركات للالماس يمتلك الاسرائيليون أكثر من 50 % منها". يذكر أن اصحاب تجار الالماس عادة ما يقومون بالبحث عن سلعتهم باعماق البحار وفي اغوار الغابات الافريقية وحتى في مناطق الصراعات بسيراليون، وبدأ الإسرائيليون بامتلاك شركات الالماس الافريقية وشيئا فشيئا اصبحوا رواد هذه الصناعة وأصحابها.
Five Israelis feared dead in Namibia plane crash
The Foreign Ministry is looking into reports that five Israeli nationals were killed on Friday when their light aircraft crashed north of Windhoek, capital of Namibia.
The crash occured on Friday afternoon, shortly after the Israelis took off in a chartered Cessna-210 after refueling in Windhoek.
They were apparently headed to a lodge in the Etosha Pans game park in northern Namibia. About two minutes after take-off the plane crashed while attempting an emergency landing in a residential suburb of the Namibian capital.

"I was walking home back from the shop when I saw this aircraft flying really low over our area. The next moment, it flew right into that house there," a witness, Tjiruripo Tjeriko, said. The aircraft burst into flames on impact and was almost entirely engulfed by the flames, making identification of the victims very difficult victims. The pilot was also killed.
The victims were apparently representatives of a diamond company in the area on business. Since Israel has no embassy in Namibia, the Israeli Embassy in South Africa is working on the case.
"Since we received word of the accident [Friday] the embassy is being assisted by the Israeli business community in Namibia," Israel's ambassador to South Africa, Ilan Baruch told Haaretz on Saturday.
Ilan said communication with the authorities was difficult.
The Foreign Ministry said it was considering sending a police forensic team to Namibia, but the weekend had made it difficult to contact the Namibian authorities to receive permission to do so.
The first report of the crash came to the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem through the U.S. State Department after an American-Jewish diplomat serving in the U.S. Embassy in Windhoek saw the crash and reported it to Washington.
