Daesh claims to show bomb that brought down Russian plane
The magazine, which celebrates the recent attacks in Paris, was circulated on social media and also included photos of passports purportedly belonging to Russian passengers killed in the bombing.
Butprganisation said it had changed its mind after it had infiltrated Sharm el-Sheikh global Airport and had chose to target a Russian plane instead.
“A bomb was smuggled onto the airplane, leading to the deaths of 219 Russians and 5 other crusaders only a month after Russia’s thoughtless decision”, the magazine read, according to worldwide Business times.
The Airbus A-321 operated by Russian airline Kogalymavia, was conducting a scheduled flight between the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh and Saint Petersburg in Russia when it crashed minutes after take-off, killing all 224 people on board.
The Islamic State published a picture of what it claims was the type of bomb that brought down a Russian airliner over Egypt last month.
The Islamic State on Wednesday released the image of a juice can which led to the downfall of the Russian plane in Egypt on October 31.
Putin responded by saying the incident was one of the bloodiest acts in modern Russian history and ordered the Russian air force to intensify its air strikes in Syria in response.
Such conclusions were validated by the analysis of the fuselage and the substances on the found objects, said Bortnikov during the session of the Security Council chaired by Putin.
Dave Welch, a former Royal Navy bomb disposal officer, said the three pieces could have been sufficient for a suicide bomber to trigger it.
“We can not be certain that the Russian airliner was brought down by a terrorist bomb, but it looks increasingly likely that that was the case”, commented United Kingdom Prime Minister David Cameron.
“We must not allow anything to drive Britain and Egypt apart, or undermine our long-term economic and security partnership”, Casson said, adding that a strong Egyptian economy with a booming tourism sector is a “national interest” for Britain.
Moscow has offered a $50 million reward for information on the plane attackers.
“Establishing security and restoring stability to Middle Eastern countries that are experiencing disputes will effectively help defeat and prevent terrorism in many parts of the world”, el-Sisi’s office said in a statement carried by the official Middle East News Agency.
