Investigators in Egypt say they’ve found no evidence that a terrorist bomb brought down a Russian airliner that crashed in the Sinai desert on Oct. 31. That’s the opposite of what Russian investigators claim and what U.S. security experts suspect, according to a CNN report on Monday.
Egyptian officials have steadfastly resisted Russian claims that MetroJet Flight 9268 was destroyed by a bomb placed aboard the flight, probably in the tail area. Shortly after the crash occurred, ISIS claimed responsibility and circulated a photo depicting what it said was a bomb concealed in a soft drink can.
Although the investigation continues in Egypt, European investigators who have examined the wreckage have reportedly said that an explosion that wasn’t accidental brought down the Airbus, which was en route from Sharm el-Sheikh to Russia.
