British PM says bomb likely caused Russian airliner crash

Quote:

British Prime Minister David Cameron said on Thursday it was increasingly likely a bomb brought down a Russian airliner over Egypt with the loss of 224 lives, and U.S. President Barack Obama said Washington was taking that possibility "very seriously".

But Moscow, which launched air strikes against Islamist fighters including Islamic State in Syria more than a month ago, said it was premature to reach conclusions that the flight was attacked.

In a telephone call, Russian President Vladimir Putin told Cameron it was important that assessments of the cause of the crash last Saturday be based on information from the official investigation, Interfax news agency reported.

Really awful if true

Baggage department. Hence separate flights for the suitcases, as a precaution. Only hand luggage on board atm.

My parents went to the same place on the day the crash happened and are supposed to be coming back today (or tomorrow depending on delays).

Cameron gets a lot of hate but he's handling this situation really well IMO, they're sending British security to do a 2nd check and passengers are only allowed to take their hand luggage with them. A lot of people have said that some of the security were playing candy crush, smoking and not properly checking luggage when they were going through.

This "ïnformation" is scary

It isn't really surprising considering the fact that Russia attacked ISIS earlier in October. It's actually believable that they would attack Russia back.
