The Egyptian pilots' union has named Bill Clinton in a lawsuit over
the FBI
investigation into the EgyptAir Boeing 767 crash. The union is said
to be
furious at leaked reports which suggest co-pilot Gamil al-Battuti crashed
the
plane into the Atlantic, killing 217 people, in an act of suicide.
The action
is being taken through the Egyptian courts and accuses investigators
of
ignoring other possible reasons as to why the New York to Cairo jet
crashed.
It calls on Mr Clinton to relaunch the inquiry and look at possibilities
including one that a land-to-air missile brought down the aircraft.
Union
officials have delivered a copy of the lawsuit to the US embassy in
Cairo
reports Channel Africa News.
