Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has acknowledged for the first time that an act of terror may have been behind the downing of a Russian passenger jet in Egypt's Sinai peninsula, killing all 224 people, the Euro News website reports today (November 10, 2015).
It's the nearest the Russian government has come to saying a bomb may have caused the crash.
Both Russia and Egypt have yet to announce the cause of the disaster and both countries have dismissed as premature U.S. and British assessments last week that a bomb was the likely cause. The leading U.S. theory is that an airport worker at the Red Sea resort of Sham el-Sheikh may have planted the suspected bomb aboard the Russian plane.
Russian communications intercepted by U.S. intelligence agencies show that Russia firmly believes a bomb brought down the jet, but Russia does not want to admit it publicly.
