"Act of terror' downed Russian plane

Russia's security chief says an act of terror brought down the Russian A321 airliner in Egypt last month, killing all 224 people on board.

"Traces of foreign explosives" were found on debris from the Airbus plane, FSB chief Alexander Bortnikov told Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Mr. Putin vowed to 'find and punish' those behind the attack over the Sinai peninsula. A branch of so-called Islamic State said it downed the plane.....

In a statement on the Kremlin's website, Mr. Bortnikov said a bomb had been planted on board the Kogalymavia jet, equivalent to up to 1kg of TNT.

It blew up on 31 October, shattering the plane mid-air, he said, "which explains the wide dispersal of fuselage pieces."

Mr. Putin said that Russia must hunt those responsible "indefinitely, find out who the individuals were."

"We'll look for them everywhere, wherever they are hiding. We'll find them in any corner of the planet and punish them."...........

Mr. Putin participated in the G20 summit just concluded in Turkey but had cancelled his participation in the APEC summit set to start in Manila in the hours ahead. The announcement was made last week.

Perhaps this announcement was planned for today.

Okay, so when does Russia turn Syria into a skating rink? or is he just full of a lot of talk also, reminiscent of our own dear leader.

"Act of terror" downed Russian plane.

Say "bomb".

Placing a bomb in an airplane is a crime. That make the deaths murder.

Say it. Murder.

"Traces of foreign explosives"

Inaccurate translation here. It should be: "traces of foreign-made explosives".

"Act of terror" is a juridical term here. There are different types of murder.

If that’s true, you have to wonder what the ‘varsity’ could do?

But seriously Obama looks like a fool right now although I don’t think he gives a rip.
