INQUEST REVEALS THE EERIE MEASSAGE THAT WAS SCRAWLED ON THE ILL FATED EGYPT AIR JET

The EgyptAir passenger jet that plunged into the Mediterranean Sea killing all 66 people on board was once attacked by a group of political vandals who scrawled an eerily accurate threat on its underside. 

Aviation workers at Cairo Airport were reportedly behind the attack on the plane, which saw the graffiti message 'we will bring this plane down' written on it in Arabic. 

Some workers also wrote 'traitor' and 'murderer' in messages directed at Egypt's president Abdel Fattah el-Sisi - a play on the phonetic similarity between the last two letters in the plane's registration SU-GCC and the leader's surname.

The attack, which came two years ago, was not connected to a jihadi threat but rather to the nation's unstable political situation at the time. 

According to unnamed officials at Cairo Airport, who revealed the details in an interview with The New York Times, the attack came as a result of unrest after former general el-Sisi ousted the elected president Mohamed Morsi in 2013. 

Since then, several new security measures have been initiated at the capital city's airport - including crew searches and the firing of employees with extreme political views.

EgyptAir has also increased the numbers of unarmed security guards sitting among passengers on flights - three of which were killed in the Flight MS804 tragedy.  

While information has begun to emerge about what might have happened to the plane in its final moments, Egyptian authorities are saying it is still too early to announce a definitive cause of the crash.

Leaked data appears to show that smoke alarms were activated on board the plane some three minutes before it lost contact and disappeared from radars.
