AFP: Terrorists Claimed Responsible for Egyptian Plane "Attentat"
2004-01-05
An unknown Islamic organization, self-named Ansar el-Hak or Justice Partisans, has claimed responsible for the "attentat" against the Egyptian charter jet, which crashed over Red Sea on Saturday. The anonymous man, who called at the local AFP section in Cairo, explained in Arab that the organization's headquarters is in Yemen and had kin relations with Osama bin Laden. He also warned of a coming terrorist act against Air France, unless France lifted the ban of wearing traditional Islamic shawls in French schools, recently introduced by President Jacque Shirak.

Thanks Cindy, we know the sensitivities about disputing Egypt stance on "non-terror" claims. I believe there is a high probability that it was indeed terrorism. No mayday call, it had to go down fast.
