The latest U.S. intelligence suggests that the crash of Metrojet Flight 9268 was most likely caused by a bomb on the plane planted by ISIS or an ISIS affiliate, according to a U.S. official familiar with the matter. The official stressed that there has not been a formal conclusion reached by the U.S. intelligence community. "There is a definite feeling it was an explosive device planted in luggage or somewhere on the plane," the official told CNN's Barbara Starr.
The assessment was reached, the official said, by looking back at intelligence reports that had been gathered before Saturday's plane crash and intelligence gathered since then. The United States did not have credible or verified intelligence of a specific threat prior to the crash, however, the official said, prior to the incident, "there had been additional activity in Sinai that had caught our attention."
Another U.S. official said the intelligence regarding ISIS is in part based on monitoring of internal messages of the terrorist group. Those messages are separate from public ISIS claims of responsibility, that official said.

CNN JUST NOW:
U.S. NTSB REFUSING to take part in Sinai rash Investigation due to “State Dept. Travel Ban”.
NTSB would just declare it another pesky center fuel tank explosion.
Did Egypt or Russia ask them?
ISIS claimed they shot it down initially. That tells me they don’t know what happened. I’m guessing a lone wolf Jihadist luggage handler.
If not ISIS than someone who is sympathetic to them because if ISIS themselves did the bombing they would never have said they shot it down they would have said they planted a bomb so I think you are right..some Jihadist who is sympathetic to ISIS did this but now we must ask, how did they get the bomb on board, inside job or is Egyptian Airport security in the toilet
Bolton was on Greta and said if this is true that Russia will probably retaliate in a brutal way.

Sources tell CNN “someone at the airport” involved in crash..
U.S. Intelligence knows it was a bomb because they probably were behind it.

You are BEYOND DESPICABLE for making this false statement.
I think the statement just said they “brought it down” probably to keep the claim deliberately vague but the accompanying fake video was of a shooting.
Time to remove the rose colored glasses. The present administration is not clean. Not clean at all. It is a moral vacuum, cultivating evil.
Most bodies were burned (in UK Daily Mail today) and people died from being burned. If the plane somehow did not crash they would have been dead from this.
All this burning indicates a bomb or a missile with a bomb being much more likely. An airplane breakup from stress means no burned bodies
The truth is the US/obama/CIA have been aiding/funding/supporting/training/arming several muslim terror groups in the ME for years. This is OSINT. And now the USGOV acknowledges US SOF are in Syria & Iraq.
The US wants Assad out and has been actively trying to overthrow/kill him for years - all illegal of course.
As others mentioned on this thread...Putin has been silent... but he’s not going to stay silent forever. You’ll know when he responds because it will be devastating. No phony US ISIS bombing missions.
As to the “because they probably were behind it.” statement, yes, strong indeed, but the US/CIA and ISIS are *ONE* and obama has been mouthing off to the Russians, and I wouldn’t put ANYTHING past him OR the CIA.
This isn’t the America we grew up in, it is a lawless, insane, suicidal country run by muslims, marxists and sodomites. Ward and June have been replaced by the kardashians and lady gaga.
Spetsnaz in Syria and US SOF will soon meet, but not before a few more “air incidents.”
WW III has already started, and but a few know.
It isn’t an accident Syria borders Israel and has a city named Damascus.
Sorry, you are mistaken. The term, “Daesh,” is used in the ME to refer to the group. It’s the Arabic acronym. Team Obama insist on calling the group, “ISIL.”
Yes.
Did you register at Free Republic in May 2015 merely to promote conspiracy theories in an attempt to make FR look bad? That seems to be the extent of your posts.
how many years of filling the fbi, the cia, homeland "security" and all the military branches with homosexuals,dingbats, rats needing a payback, and affirmative action hires does it take to make our "intelligence" incompetent?....answer: not many...
I have not seen any reports of burning.
