Alwaght- Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev says a terror attack is considered by the investigators as one of the possible causes for the crash of the Russian A321 jet over Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula in late October.
“The possibility of a terrorist act, of course, remains among the reasons of what had happened" to the Kolavia flight 7K9268, Medvedev told Rossiyskaya Gazeta newspaper.
The PM however added that that the inquiry into the cause of the worst disaster in history of Russia’s civil aviation, which took the lives of 224 passengers and crew members, is “still ongoing.”
Russia’s presidential press-secretary, Dmitry Peskov, had said earlier that the international investigators from Russia, Egypt and other interested nations had not yet reached the preliminary conclusions on what caused the Airbus A321 crash.
Some international aviation experts and investigators, suspect a bomb exploded on board the Metrojet A-321 plane, but Egyptian officials insist there is no evidence yet of an attack on the aircraft. ISIS terrorist group claimed to have downed at Egypt's resort of Sharm el-Sheikh at the Sinai Peninsula.
Meanwhile Russian intelligence have been quoted as saying Saudi regime spies planted the bombing on the ill fated flight with Egyptian intelligence fully complicit in the terror attack. The sources stated: “Half the Egyptians work for Israel, the other half for Saudi Arabia anyway, Egypt has no security services, only paid foreign spies.”
Tens of thousands of foreign tourists, including some 80,000 Russians and 20,000 Britons, were stranded in the resort after flights were cancelled over security fears.
Moscow said Monday that about 25,000 Russian tourists had so far returned, on more than 100 flights from the Egyptian resort.
