Metrojet flight 9268 crashed in Egypt’s Sinai peninsula, after exploding, mid-air, killing all 224 passengers. It was going to St. Petersburg, Russia from The Red Sea resort Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt.
Authorities are denying that the crash had nothing to do with ISIS an Islamic terrorist organization located all over the world. United States intelligence suggests that ISIS was involved, and they planted a bomb on the plane.
“Significant possibility,” British Prime Minister Philip Hammond said.
The British government believes that there was an explosive device on the plane. Middle Eastern sources also believe an explosive device was involved.
Intelligence also suggests that someone at Sharm el-Sheikh helped transport a bomb onto the plane.
“This airport has lax security. It is known for that. But there is intelligence suggesting an assist from someone at the airport. Multiple senior officials in the Military, Intelligence, and National Security community say they are “99.9% certain; [that the plane was brought down by a bomb],” a U.S official said
“ISIS is probably involved in this, they’re involved in almost everything now that includes a bomb and a plane,” junior Justin Raclaw said.
