An assessment by the U.S. National Transportation and Safety Board (NTSB) appeared to dismiss Egyptian theories of technical problems but cited alleged lewd behavior by the co-pilot, who has previously been linked in leaks from the investigation to a U.S. theory that a crew member deliberately crashed the plane. ``Don't you think it's a bit odd that the report on his behavior came only hours before the official report was released?'' co-pilot Gamil al-Batouti's nephew Walid al-Batouti told Reuters late on Friday. ``They said my uncle recited Islamic verses from the Koran on the plane. So on the plane he was a Muslim fundamentalist and in the hotel he was a man going after women?'' The NTSB report ruled out a public hearing into the October 31, 1999 crash that killed all 217 people aboard. It issued 1,665 pages of material without analysis or any conclusion on the cause of the tragedy off the coast of Massachusetts. But the release included Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) reports saying Batouti had been investigated by a New York hotel for complaints of lewd behavior. The FBI documents made public on Friday said a New York hotel had considered banning Batouti because of an alleged pattern of sexual misconduct toward staff and guests and had discussed its concerns with his employer. They alleged he had exposed himself and made unwanted sexual advances to hotel staff and guests. ``It's an unfair investigation...You know that they are just trying to find something (to blame Batouti),'' his nephew said. CO-PILOT'S FAMILY PLAN NEWS CONFERENCE Walid, a lawyer, told reporters on Saturday that he and other relatives would hold a news conference on Tuesday to respond to the accusations in the U.S. media. He said they were also considering filing a lawsuit against the USA Today newspaper for a report it had published. The nephew told journalists the crew used to stay on the sixteenth floor of the hotel in question, so reports that his uncle was seen naked in his room were baseless. He said the United States had refused to show satellite and radar pictures of the plane before the crash, which would reveal any strange object or missile. He said his family believed a U.S. missile had downed the plane. Walid Murad, head of the Egyptian Pilots' Federation, said his organization would hold an emergency meeting to discuss going to the U.S. judiciary to stop U.S. media reports which distorted the facts and the reputation of Egyptian pilots. Relatives of crew members killed in the incident have sued Boeing Co and other companies, alleging that flaws in the aircraft, rather than a suicidal pilot, downed the plane. The investigation has been handled carefully to avoid offending Egypt, a key U.S. ally in Middle East peace efforts. Egyptian efforts to show various scenarios for losing control of the plane were painstakingly reviewed in Boeing simulators. At a news conference on Friday, safety board chairman Jim Hall was asked why his agency was not holding a public hearing to discuss the material. Such hearings are often held in the United States during investigations of major air accidents. Hall said no determination on the cause of the crash had been made but added that investigative work had ended for now.
