INetherlands isebenzise izikena zomzimba ezigcwele ezindizeni eziya e-US

E-HAGUE, Netherlands - Izwe laseNetherlands limemezele ngoLwesithathu ukuthi lizoqala ngokushesha ukusebenzisa ama-scanner aphelele ezindizeni eziya e-United States, yathi lokho bekungase kumise imizamo yokuqhunyiswa kwendiza yoSuku lukaKhisimusi.

I-US ibingafuni ukuthi lezi zithwebuli zisetshenziswe phambilini ngenxa yezinkinga zobumfihlo kodwa manje abaphathi baka-Obama sebevumile ukuthi "zonke izindlela ezingenzeka zizosetshenziswa ezindizeni eziya e-US," uNgqongqoshe Wezangaphakathi waseDashi uGuusje Ter Horst etshela ingqungquthela yezindaba.

U-Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab ugibele i-Northwest Airlines Flight 253 eya e-Detroit esuka e-Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport ngoLwesihlanu ephethe iziqhumane ezingabonwa, kusho iziphathimandla, zengeza ngokuthi indoda yaseNigeria, 23, izamile kodwa yehluleka ukuyiqhumisa indiza ebithwele abantu abangu-289.

"Akulona ihaba ukusho ukuthi umhlaba usindile enhlekeleleni," kusho uTer Horst, ebiza lesi simo "njengomsebenzi" wokuhlasela kwamaphekula e-al-Qaida.

I-Schiphol yase-Amsterdam inezikena zomzimba eziyi-15, ngasinye zibiza ngaphezu kuka-$200,000. Kepha kuze kube manje i-European Union noma i-US ayikugunyazanga ukusetshenziswa okujwayelekile kwezithwebuli ezikhumulweni zezindiza zaseYurophu.

Ilungu lesishayamthetho elibalulekile laseYurophu linxuse i-European Union ukuthi iqale ngokushesha ukufaka imishini emisha kulo lonke izwe elinamazwe angama-27, kodwa awekho amanye amazwe ase-Europe alandela ngokushesha lesi sinyathelo samaDashi.

Izithwebuli zomzimba ezisetshenziswa kontanga ngaphansi kwezingubo sezineminyaka zikhona, kodwa abagqugquzeli bobumfihlo bathi “ziwusesho lwe-virtual strip” ngoba baveza isithombe somzimba esikrinini sekhompyutha.

U-Ian Dowty, ummeli we-Action on Rights of the Child, uthe ukuvumela izingane ukuba zidlule kuma-scanner kwephula imithetho yezithombe ezingcolile zezingane.

"Kukhombisa isitho sangasese," etshela i-Associated Press. "Mayelana nomthetho wamaNgisi ... akukho emthethweni uma kungcolile."

Ngaleso sizathu, iziphathimandla zaseBrithani ziye zabakhulula abaneminyaka engaphansi kwe-18 ekuhlolweni kwe-body scan ezindaweni ezihlanganisa i-Paddington Station e-London kanye nase-Heathrow nase-Manchester.

Isofthiwe entsha, nokho, iqeda leyo nkinga ngokuveza isithombe esenziwe isitayela esikhundleni sesithombe sangempela esikrinini sekhompyutha, egqamisa indawo yomzimba lapho izinto zifihlwe khona emaphaketheni noma ngaphansi kwempahla.

U-Ter Horst uthe izikena kungenzeka ukuthi zazise onogada ngezinto ezifihlwe engutsheni yangaphansi ka-Abdulmutallab futhi zimvimbele ukuthi agibele indiza yaseNorthwest.

"Umbono wethu manje ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kwama-millimeter wave scanners bekungasiza ekutholeni ukuthi kukhona okuthile emzimbeni wakhe, kodwa awukwazi ukunikeza iziqinisekiso ezingamaphesenti ayi-100," kusho yena.

Okungenani izikena ezimbili e-Amsterdam bezilokhu zisebenzisa isoftware engasebenzi kakhulu kusukela ngasekupheleni kukaNovemba kanti amaDashi athi lezo zizosetshenziswa ngokushesha. Zonke ezinye izikena zizothuthukiswa phakathi kwamaviki amathathu.

Kepha izikena eziyi-15 ngeke zihlanganise izindiza ezingama-25-30 ngosuku ezisuka e-Amsterdam ziye ezindaweni zase-US, futhi abagibeli emasangweni ngaphandle kweyodwa bazobhambathwa. U-Schiphol ulindele umyalelo kahulumeni mayelana nokuthi athenge yini eminye imishini, kusho okhulumela isikhumulo sezindiza uKathelijn Vermeulen.

UNobhala Wezokuphepha Kwasekhaya uJanet Napolitano ubikelwe ngoLwesibili ngungqongqoshe wezobulungiswa waseDutch ngalolu daba, kusho okhulumela le nhlangano u-Amy Kudwa eWashington.

“Isikhumulo sezindiza sase-Schiphol asiyidingi imvume yase-United States ukuze sibuke ngaphezu kwamazinga e-ICAO. Yebo siyabeseka ubuchwepheshe bezithombe obusezingeni eliphezulu, njengoba sibusebenzisa lapha,” kusho yena esitatimendeni.

Embikweni wokuqala okhishwe ngoLwesithathu, uhulumeni waseDashi ubize uhlelo lokuqhumisa indiza ebheke eDetroit "ngochwepheshe" kodwa wathi ukubulawa kwayo "kuyinto engavamile."

UTer Horst uthe u-Abdulmutallab ngokusobala uhlanganise isiqhumane, okuhlanganisa namagremu angu-80 ePetrite, noma i-PETN, endlini yangasese yendiza, wabe esehlela ukuyiqhumisa ngesirinji yamakhemikhali. Uthe iziqhumane kubukeka sengathi bezilungiswe kahle futhi bezinikezwe u-Abdulmutallab, kodwa wangachaza kabanzi.

"Indlela kuleli cala ikhombisa - naphezu kokwehluleka kokuhlasela - indlela efanelekile," kusho isifinyezo sophenyo. "I-Pentrite iyisiqhumane esinamandla kakhulu esivamile, okungekho lula ukukhiqiza ngokwakho."

“Uma ufuna ukuyiqhumisa kumele ukwenze ngenye indlela kunalokho akwenza. Yingakho sikhuluma nge-amateurism,” kusho uTer Horst.

U-Abdulmutallab ufike e-Amsterdam ngoLwesihlanu esuka eLagos, eNigeria ngendiza ye-KLM. Ngemva kokuhlala isikhathi esingaphansi kwamahora amathathu ehholo lokumuka lamazwe ngamazwe, wadlula lapho kubhekwa khona unogada esangweni lase-Amsterdam, okuhlanganisa nokuskena imithwalo yesandla kanye nomtshina wensimbi, wabe esegibela indiza yaseNorthwest. Akazange adlule kuskena esigcwele umzimba wonke.

U-Abdulmutallab ubephethe ipasipoti yaseNigeria esemthethweni futhi ene-visa yaseMelika esemthethweni, kusho amaDashi. Igama lakhe alizange livele ohlwini lwama-Dutch lwabasolwa abangamaphekula.

"Azikho izinto ezisolisayo ezingase zinikeze isizathu sokuthi umuntu othintekayo afakwe ohlwini lwabasengozini enkulu okuhlonzwe ngesikhathi kuhlolwa ezokuphepha," kusho uTer Horst.

U-Erik Ackerboom, inhloko ye-Dutch counterterrorism Bureau, uzichithile iziphakamiso zokuthi u-Abdulmutallab bekufanele avuse izinsolo ngesikhathi ekhokhela ithikithi lokuya nokubuya esuka eLagos eya eDetroit ngokheshi futhi engenawo umthwalo wokungena.

Ukukhokha ukheshi e-Afrika akuyona into engavamile, wathi, futhi ukuntuleka kwepotimende elihloliwe “akusona isizathu sokwesaba.”

U-Abdulmutallab, obhekene necala lokuzama ukucekela phansi indiza, uboshelwe ejele laseMilan, eMichigan.

E-US, amaskena agcwele umzimba wonke angama-40 asetshenziswa okungenani ezikhumulweni zezindiza eziyi-19 zase-US.

Izikhumulo zezindiza eziyisithupha zase-US zizisebenzisa ekuhloleni okuyinhloko: Albuquerque, NM; Las Vegas; Miami; I-San Francisco; Salt Lake City; kanye no-Tulsa, Okla. Abagibeli badlula kumaskeni esikhundleni somtshina wensimbi, nakuba bengakhetha ukuthola uphenyo olubambekayo oluvela kunogada esikhundleni salokho.

Eminye imishini isetshenziswa ezikhumulweni zezindiza eziyi-13 zase-US ukuze kuhlolwe okwesibili abagibeli abasuse umtshina wensimbi. Kodwa lezo zihambi zingaphinda zikhethe ukuzibamba.

Kamuva ngoLwesithathu, iNigeria yananela lesi sinyathelo samaDashi, lapho isikhulu seCivil Aviation Authority uHarold Demuren eLagos ethi i-ejensi yakhe izothenga izithwebuli ezigcwele umzimba futhi unethemba lokuthi zizoqala ukuzifaka ngonyaka ozayo.

Lokho kuphawula kushayisana nombiko wango-2009 woMnyango Wezwe LaseMelika, owathi uhulumeni waseNigeria ukugunyazile ukufakwa kwezithwebuli zemizimba ezixhaswe yi-US kuzo zonke izikhumulo zezindiza ezine zaseNigeria ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka.

Le mibiko ayikwazanga ukuhlanganiswa ngokushesha.

UMengameli uBarack Obama usefune umbiko wokuqala ngoLwesine ezikhulwini zezokuphepha zaseMelika mayelana nokungahambi kahle ngodaba lwendiza yaseDetroit. U-Obama uthe umphakathi wezobunhloli bekufanele ukwazi ukuhlanganisa imininingwane ebingaphakamisa “amafulege abomvu” futhi ngokunokwenzeka ivimbele u-Abdulmutallab ukuthi agibele endizeni.

"Kube nengxubevange yokwehluleka kwabantu kanye nesistimu okube nomthelela kulokhu kuphulwa kwezokuphepha okungaba yinhlekelele," kusho u-Obama ngoLwesibili eHawaii, ebiza ukushiyeka kwezobunhloli "akwamukelekile neze."

U-Abdulmutallab wayefakwe kusizindalwazi esisodwa esibanzi, kodwa akazange aphumelele ohlwini olunemikhawulo eyengeziwe obekungadonsa ukunaka kwabahloli bamaphekula baseMelika, naphezu kwezixwayiso zikayise ezikhulwini zeNxusa laseMelika eNigeria ngenyanga edlule. Lezo zixwayiso azizange ziholele ekutheni i-visa ka-Abdulmutallab yase-US ihoxiswe.

Ngonyaka odlule iPhalamende LaseYurophu lavotela kakhulu ngokumelene nokusebenzisa izikena futhi lacela ukuba kuqhutshekwe nocwaningo, okwavumela uSchiphol ukuba enze ukuhlola komshayeli wezithwebuli.

Kodwa ukuphikisa kufiphele ngoLwesithathu ngesikhathi uPeter van Dalen, iphini likasihlalo wekomidi lezokuthutha emhlanganweni we-EU, ethi umbhikisho wakamuva eSchiphol ukhombise ukuthi imishini ayizange yephule izimfihlo zabagibeli.

Noma kunjalo, iqembu lamaDashi lamalungelo edijithali, i-Bits of Freedom, libize lesi sinqumo njengokusabela okweqile okuqhutshwa ukwesaba.

“Ithuba lokuthi othile abe isisulu sokuhlasela kwamaphekula emoyeni mancane kakhulu kunethuba lokushaywa umbani,” leli qembu labhala encwadini evulelekile eya kuMnyango Wezobulungisa WaseDutch.

UPhilip Baum, umhleli we-Aviation Security International, uthe izithwebuli ngeke zibambe izinto ezifakwe ngaphakathi, okuyindlela evamile yokushushumbisa yabashushumbisi bezidakamizwa.

“Siphinde futhi, sifuna ucezu lobuchwepheshe olulungisa ngokushesha lapho kufanele ngabe sisebenzisa ubuchwepheshe obungcono kakhulu obukhona - ubuchopho bomuntu," esho. "Kufanele sifake amaphrofayili abantu."

Khonamanjalo, izikhulu zithe ngoLwesithathu owesilisa uzame ukugibela ibhanoyi elisenhlokodolobha yaseSomalia, eMogadishu ngenyanga edlule ethwele amakhemikhali ayimpuphu, uketshezi kanye nesirinji ecaleni elinezinto ezifanayo ezithusayo nezaseDetroit.

Umlisa waseSomalia - elingakadalulwa igama lakhe - uboshwe ngamasosha e-African Union agcina ukuthula ngaphambi kokuthi indiza ye-Daallo Airlines yangoNovemba 13 isuke. Bekuhlelelwe ukuthi isuke eMogadishu iye edolobheni elisenyakatho yeSomalia iHargeisa, bese iye eDjibouti naseDubai. Okhulumela amaphoyisa aseSomalia, u-Abdulahi Hassan Barise, uthe umsolwa uvalelwe eSomalia.

“Asazi noma uxhumene ne-al-Qaida noma ezinye izinhlangano zakwamanye amazwe, kodwa isenzo sakhe bekuyizenzo zamaphekula. Simbambe oqotsheni,” kusho uBarise.

Abaphenyi baseMelika bathi u-Abdulmutallab ubatshele ukuthi uthole ukuqeqeshwa neziyalezo kubasebenzi be-al-Qaida eYemen, engaphesheya kweGulf of Aden esuka eSomalia.
