UK suspends Sinai flights amid fears Russian plane crash caused by bomb
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe British government says it is increasingly concerned that the Russian passenger plane that crashed on Saturday, killing all 224 people on board, was brought down by a bomb and is suspending flights to and from Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula.
Prime Minister David Cameron’s office says British aviation experts are travelling to the Sinai resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, where the flight originated from, to assess security before British flights there will be allowed to leave.
No British flights are flying there at the moment.
Cameron’s office at Downing Street says “we have become concerned that the plane may well have been brought down by an explosive device.”
