British Prime Minister David Cameron said Thursday there is a "strong possibility" a terrorist bomb brought down a Russian plane over the Sinai even as Russia and Egypt dismissed such talk as premature speculation.
Meanwhile, France and Ireland joined Britain in suspending all flights to the Egyptian resort city of Sharm el-Sheikh. The ill-fated Russian Metrojet left the resort's airport Saturday morning before crashing into the Sinai peninsula less than 30 minutes later, killing 224 people. Most of the victims were Russian tourists.
The airline, also known as Kogalymavia, earlier blamed "external influence" for the crash, but the head of Russia's aviation agency has called such talk premature. On Thursday, the airline said it had suspended all flights of Airbus A321 jets in its fleet.
The Islamic State has claimed that it brought down the plane in the Sinai, where Egypt is fighting an Islamic insurgency in the area where the airliner crashed. Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi, who was on an official visit to London on Thursday, has called the Islamic State claim “propaganda.”
