ISIS posts photo of bomb allegedly used in Russian jet crash

The picture showed a yellow can of Schweppes Gold soda and what appeared to be other bomb components.

President Vladimir Putin of Russian Federation and Abdel-Fattah al-Sissi of Egypt have called for greater global efforts against terrorism.

Meanwhile, ISIS explained it had a different target in mind.

Yet to concede that the Islamic State might have penetrated Egyptian security at the Sharm el-Sheikh airport, and that Mr. Putin’s Syrian adventure could have prompted the worst civil air attack in Russia’s history, would be not just an embarrassment but a potentially grievous political wound.

“The magazine said the group targeted the passenger plane leaving the resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh in response to Russian airstrikes inside Syria”.

However, Clive Williams, a professor at the Australian National University’s Centre for Military and Security Law and a member of the worldwide Association of Bomb Technicians and Investigators, said the use of a soda can raised questions about whether the device was included in the catering supply.

Another photo shows passports allegedly belonging to three Russians who were killed in the crash.

Despite Dr Alford’s theory about the showiness of the “contrivance”, he confirmed that there were a number of ways a bomb this small could bring down even a large passenger plane.

The Norwegian has been identified as Ole Johan Grimsgaard-Ofstad, 48, a graduate student in political philosophy from Porsgrunn, south of Oslo.

The militants did not say when or where the two were captured when announcing their captivity in a previous issue of the magazine.

“It is painful for the family and the whole country”, she said.

Islamic State had previously claimed responsibility for the attack, but offered no evidence.

In a previous edition of the magazine, the group advertised the two hostages as being “for sale”, in effect a macabre ransom demand.

“Communications between the pilot and the tower were very normal – no distress signals occurred”, Egyptian transportation minister Hossam Kamal said in a press conference following the incident, according to the NY Times.

ISIS claimed the original plan was to bring down a plane belonging to a nation of the American-led coalition.

Dr Sidney Alford, a British explosives engineer, said that the 300ml can, detonator and timer pictured by Isis would have the potential to take down an airliner if it was close enough to the plane’s outer skin. He said the attack is making Russian Federation more cooperative with the West in trying for a transition in Syria.
