Russian plane crash: U.S. intel suggests ISIS bomb brought down jet
CNN ^ | November 4, 2015 | Barbara Starr, Catherine E. Shoichet and Ashley Fantz

Posted on 11/04/2015 2:25:35 PM PST by Navy Patriot

Days after authorities dismissed claims that ISIS brought down a Russian passenger jet, a U.S. intelligence analysis now suggests that the terror group or its affiliates planted a bomb on the plane.

And the office of British Prime Minister David Cameron says the plane "may well have been brought down by an explosive device."

Metrojet Flight 9268 crashed Saturday in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula after breaking apart in midair, killing all 224 people on board. It was en route to St. Petersburg from the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.

I don’t believe this for a second. Smells really fishy. We don’t know WHAT happened . I DO know that the crew was complaining about the condition of that plane.

My days of believing ANYTHING any administration (hiding behind cooked “intelligence”) is long past.

Junior varsity made a bomb? Probably a joke, like a whoopee cushion.

Can a whoopee cushion bring down a passenger jet?

“Putin won’t hold back.”

When he is sure it was a bomb, I expect him to “bomb” the hell out of ISIS/other named terrorist groups, until they are dust on the ground. Think it was 25 children killed and Putin has seen those body bags. I really think he will go on a killing mission in the area where that bomb was put on board, plus every other middle east country where terrorists are and he can get to them.

Yes, but we are not the only ones saying it. Keep in mind this is not definite. No one is saying definitely. Not this early. They must take precautions early so that it does not happen again.

The British are also saying it likely was a bomb. They and the French developed that plane so they know more about the systems on board that plane than other countries.

ISIS in Sinai is one of the most active of all the ISIS affiliates and has bomb-making capabilities, according to U.S. intelligence. But if the group did plant a bomb on the plane, it would represent an increase in sophistication. The officials say ISIS has not proved to be nearly as advanced with bomb-making capabilities as al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, a group that U.S. national security officials believed were working on nonmetallic bombs to be smuggled onto planes.

Here is the US spin to try to distance Obama, CIA and covert ops support from ISIS and the bomb that was planted on the Russian airliner.

By a miracle of Allah! ISIS suddenly gets so smart they can make a sophisticated, difficult to detect, bomb AND defeat Western security measures at Tourist secure Egyptian airport.

you forget that the present government replaced the previous government and killed many of them. there are plenty of the displaced still lurking around and capable of planting the device as service crew at the resort.

the Brotherhood survivors might have become ISIS

Security at Sharm is laughable at best. They take you out on the tarmac with your luggage, and match you with it, searching as they see fit. I’ve watched burka clad humans with no skin visible boarding aircraft. The baggage handlers? Who knows.

To say the system would be easily infiltrated is obvious.

Classic terrorist response. Russia is killing the mass murders that Obama loves, so terrorists are killing innocent Russians. That’s what I expect from certain groups.

No, I don't. I believe you are refering to the Obama, CIA US State department funded and supported Muslim Brotherhood "Arab Spring 'rebels'" that deposed Mubarek, and installed Muslim Brotherhood convicted criminal Morsi.

the (Muslim) Brotherhood survivors might have become ISIS

Or they might sitll be working for Obama and the US State Department, insisting the Egyptians restore Morsi to power, ...or else.
