They fired rifles in the air, the traditional Arab salute, and then decamped. The authorities interpret the action as a gesture of respect for the dead, also as an indication that the destruction of the aeroplane was not premeditated, but the work of an irresponsible sharpshooter. The remains which had been reverently treated and conveyed a considerable distance will be buried in the Air Force cemetery, with full military honours.
