UK warns of airport security overhaul
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleBritain’s foreign secretary says airport security in many cities will need to be overhauled if it is confirmed the Russian plane crash in the Sinai was caused by a bomb planted by Islamic State members or someone inspired by them.
Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond warns that if those suspicions are true, there needs to be a rethink of security at airports in areas where the extremist group is active.
He told the BBC Sunday that it “may mean additional costs, it may mean additional delays at airports as people check in.”
US and British officials suspect the October 31 flight from Sharm el-Sheikh to St. Petersburg was brought down by a bomb on board, but Egypt warns it is too early to say what caused the crash.
