US President Barack Obama raised the possibility Nov. 5 that a bomb brought down a Russian plane that crashed over Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, undermining efforts by Cairo and Moscow to downplay the suggestion of an attack.

New photographs were released showing the Russian tourist jet which was crashed over Egypt’s Sinai peninsula last weekend and appear to prove that it was brought down by a bomb.

The Airbus A321 crashed shortly after taking off from the resort of Sharm el-Sheikh heading to St Petersburg, Russia and killed all 224 people on board.

Uncertainty over the possible causes of the Russian airplane crash in Egypt's Sinai peninsula has risen as US and UK intelligence suggested that the airplane might have been bombed.

Their suggestions are supported by the claims of militants affiliated to Islamic State (IS), who had accepted responsibility for taking down the airplane.

Evidence now suggests that a bomb planted by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) militant group is the likely cause of last weekend's crash of a Russian airliner over Egypt's Sinai peninsula, U.S. and European security sources said on Nov 4.

From Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece to ‘60s and ‘90s, the body types of women are totally different.

Isis militants released an audio message repeating their claim to have brought down the Russian jet which crashed on Saturday and caused the death of hundreds Russian tourists and crew.

A car bomb targeting a policeman's club in the Egyptian city of El Arish killed six people and wounded 10 on Nov 4, security sources said.

Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant's (ISIL) Egypt affiliate, Sinai Province, claimed responsibility for the attack, which it described as a suicide bombing. 

Egypt’s civil aviation ministry said there were no facts proving that the Russian plane that crashed in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula on Saturday broke up in mid-air.

The spokesman for the ministry, Mohamed Rahmi, has told Reuters that no distress call had been received before the crash.

Vucic offers condolences over Russian passenger jet crash

Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic on Saturday offered his condolences to Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev.

Vucic in this way reacted to the news that a Russian passenger jet had crashed in Egypt, killing all 224 people on board.

Russian airline Kogalymavia, which operated the Airbus A321 that crashed in Egypt's Sinai peninsula on Saturday, has blamed the crash on a midair mechanical impact.

According to a senior manager of the company, the crash resulted from a major damage caused to the airplane's frame in flight.
