Alwaght- Human remains from EgyptAir Flight 804 lead us to an explosion on board, an Egyptian forensic official says.
An official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not allowed to release information concerning the investigation, told AP the forensics team has to deal with very small body parts.
The official is part of the Egyptian investigative team and has personally examined the remains at a Cairo morgue.
“The logical explanation is that it was an explosion,” the source added, while also mentioning that the experts had so far been given around 80 small body parts to investigate.”
"there isn't even a whole body part, like an arm or a head."
The official said that no traces of explosives have been found yet that would suggest that a bomb caused the plane to crash. The team is expecting more body parts to arrive soon so that they continue with their forensic examination in trying to find out what caused the crash.
All 66 people on board were killed when the Airbus 320 crashed in the Mediterranean early Thursday while en route from Paris to Cairo.
Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi said that authorities are working hard to find the plane’s black boxes. Cairo deployed a submarine over the weekend to search for wreckage from the plane.
He added that at this stage of the investigation “all scenarios” of plane crash “are possible.”
