More as it comes...
Whoops, there goes the Egyptian tourism industry.
When Sadat was assassinated back in the late ‘70s, that was such an inside job, I think his own guards did it. This seems a lot the same way.
Assuming it was a bomb, believe it or not, some Russian defenders keep on saying we don’t know yet, maybe officially we don’t. One report said there was a possibility of an explosion in an engine as well.
Let’s just say, it sure looks like an onboard bomb.
Maybe people will wise up and stop taking tours to that God-forsaken hole in the desert.
