PM David Cameron Says Explosive Device May Have Downed Russian Plane 
---------------------------------------------------------------------


 
British Prime Minister David Cameron has said it is "more likely than
not" that an explosive device brought down a Russian passenger plane in
Egypt's Sinai Peninsula over the weekend. The crash killed 224 people.
Britain has suspended flights to and from the Red Sea resort of Sharm
el-Sheikh. Both Russia and Egypt have pushed back against the claim that
the plane was bombed. Russia said such theories are "speculation," while
Egypt said there is "no evidence" yet to support them. In an audio
message, an affiliate of the self-proclaimed Islamic State took
responsibility, saying it had "taken down" the plane. Anonymous U.S.
officials are now claiming that intelligence suggests the plane was
bombed by ISIL or one its offshoots.
