#ad▼

Investigators are uncovering new clues about the final seconds of Metrojet Flight 9268. CNN’s Miguel Marquez reports.

The latest U.S. intelligence suggests that the crash of a Russian passenger jet flying over the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt was most likely caused by a bomb on the plane planted by ISIS or an ISIS affiliate, according to a US official familiar with the matter.

Early investigation is attempting to determine whether or not a bomb was planted on Metrojet Flight 9268 at Sharm El Sheikh Airport, or whether or not a missile was launched at the plane from the Sinai desert.

The U.K. has now suspended flights from the Sinai Peninsula over fears that ISIS likely smuggled a bomb onto a downed passenger jet.

Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond tells Sky News there’s a “significant possibility” Egypt plane crash was caused by a bomb on board.

David Cameron says intelligence gave concern that Egypt plane crash was “more likely than not” caused by a bomb.

House Intel. Ranking Member Adam Schiff (D) says that there is a substantial terrorism problem in Sinai, but urges people not to jump to conclusions just yet.
