Editor’s Note (IJ) This story is still developing and investigations are underway by the Russian and Egyptian governments. However, let’s not forget, that ISIS may have allegedly claim responsibility for this airline crash, if so, then they may also have had help from their proxy allies who fund and support them.

British Prime Minister David Cameron said on Thursday it was increasingly likely that a bomb brought down a Russian airliner over Egypt with the loss of 224 lives, setting him at odds with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Britain, Ireland, Germany and the Netherlands have suspended flights to and from Sharm al-Sheikh, leaving thousands of European tourists stranded in the Red Sea resort where the plane took off from. A spokesperson for Cameron later said flights from the resort destination to Britain would resume on Friday.
Egypt, which depends on tourism as a crucial source of revenue, said the decision to suspend flights was unjustified and should be reversed at once. It said there was no evidence a bomb was to blame.
A Sinai-based group affiliated to Islamic State, the militant group that has seized swathes of Iraq and Syria, has claimed responsibility for the crash, which if confirmed would make it the first attack on civil aviation by the world’s most violent jihadist organization.
Moscow, which launched air strikes against Islamist fighters including Islamic State in Syria more than a month ago, says it is premature to reach conclusions that the flight was attacked.
In a telephone call, Putin told Cameron it was important that assessments of the cause of the crash be based on information from the official investigation, Interfax news agency reported.
Cameron, who hosted Egyptian President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi on Thursday for a previously scheduled visit, said: “We cannot be certain that the Russian airliner was brought down by a terrorist bomb, but it looks increasingly likely that was the case.”
His foreign secretary, Philip Hammond, said it was “a significant possibility” Islamic State was responsible, given a range of information, including the claim of responsibility.
Britain said it was working with airlines and Egyptian authorities to put in place additional security and screening measures at the airport to allow Britons to get home. It hoped flights bound for Britain could leave on Friday.
If a bomb brought down the Airbus A321 (AIR.PA), that would devastate Egypt’s tourism industry, still recovering from years of political turmoil. Shares in holiday companies Thomas Cook (TCG.L) and TUI Group (TUIT.L) fell.
U.S. Representative Michael McCaul, the Republican chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said on Fox news that evidence so far indicated an Islamic State attack “with an explosive device in the airplane”.
DOOMED FLIGHT
While Egypt has bristled at the suspensions of flights, Sisi said during his visit to London that he understood countries’ concerns about safety. He said Cairo had been asked 10 months ago to check security at the airport in Sharm al-Sheikh.
“We understood their concern because they are really interested in the safety and security of their nationals,” he added.
Dmitry Peskov, Putin’s spokesman, said Russian planes were still flying to and from Sharm al‐Sheikh.
“Theories about what happened and the causes of the incident can only be pronounced by the investigation,” Peskov said.
Egypt’s civil aviation minister, Hossam Kamal, said investigators so far had no evidence to support the explosion theory. Russian aviation agency Rosaviatsia said investigators would examine whether there was any explosive material on the plane.
Security experts and investigators have said the plane is unlikely to have been struck from the outside and Sinai militants are not believed to have any missiles capable of striking a jet at 30,000 feet. Russia’s Kogalymavia airline, which operated the crashed plane, said three of its four remaining A321 jets had passed Russian safety checks, while the fourth would be checked shortly.
FIRST FUNERALS
Russia on Thursday began burying some of those killed in the crash, which could affect strong public support for the Kremlin’s air strikes in Syria.
In St Petersburg, the intended destination of the doomed flight, friends and loved ones bade farewell to 31-year-old Alexei Alexeyev, who worked for a heating and ventilation company and had been returning from a holiday.
Islamic State has called for war against both Russia and the United States in response to their air strikes in Syria. The hardline group, which also has a presence in Egypt’s neighbor Libya, is waging a campaign of suicide bombings and shootings in Egypt designed to topple the government.
A senior Russian lawmaker said Britain’s decision to stop flights from Sharm was motivated by London’s opposition to Russia’s actions in Syria.
“There is geopolitical opposition to the actions of Russia in Syria,” said Konstantin Kosachev, a senior member of Russia’s upper house of parliament, when asked about Britain’s decision, in comments reported by RIA news agency.
At Sharm airport, security appeared to have been tightened on Thursday with security forces patrolling the terminals and not allowing drivers, tour agents or others to loiter while awaiting tourist arrivals, a witness said.
A spokesperson for Cameron said flights from Britain to Sharm al-Sheikh were still suspended but “the government has decided, in consultation with the airlines, that flights from Sharm to the UK will resume tomorrow”.

SAME OLD BULL CRAP WE KNOW THAT ANY THING THAT HAPPEN AND WILL HAPPEN IN THAT PART OF THE WORLD IN REGARDS TO RUSSIA IT WILL ALWAYS BE THE SATANIC JEWS AND ARABS OF SOUDI ARABIA AND EVEN PERHAPS EGYPT SINCE THEY ARE ALL FOLLOWING THE SAME AGENDA.
SO TO MAKE BELIVE DECEPTIVE COMMENTS FROM A LYING ENGLISH ZIONIST JEW, WE KNOW THAT HE KNOWS WHO DID IT, BUT RUSSIA WILL FIND OUT AND I HOPE THAT RUSSIA WILL DROP ENOUGH NUCLEAR WARHEADS ON THOSE GUILTY NATIONS THAT ARE CONSPIRING AGAINST RUSSIA JUST TO SHOW THEM THAT RUSSIA IS NOT AFRAID OF THESE DAMN JEWS NO MATTER WHERE THEY ARE FROM
SO I HOPE THAT PUTIN WILL NAIL THESE BASTARDS TO THE GROUND WITH OUT MERCY LIKE THEY HAVE ALREADY PROVEN THAT THEY HAVE NO MERCY TOWARDS INOCENT PEOPLE THAT HAS DONE NOTHING WRONG TO THESE CRIMINALS
ISRAEL AND JEW-S-A RETALIATE BY DOWNING RUSSIA’S PASSENGER JET IN SINAI AND MAKING IT LOOK LIKE SOMEBODY ELSE DID IT.
Sir, I want to repeat this, because this is very important. This Russian plane was bombed by Jew-S-A, plain and simple, and here is how and why.
Russia got involved in Syria and attacked ISIS, which Jew-S-A refers to as “our assets” and “our guys.” This disrupted Israel’s plan to steal land from Syria for a Greater Israel. So Jew-S-A and Israel were confused what to do. A direct attack on Russia is risky. So they decided to attack Russia indirectly and kill as many Russians as possible in retaliation by using terrorism.
A Russian plane crashes a few weeks after Russia gets involved in Syria, creating the biggest disaster in Russian aviation history.
Jew-S-A gives billions in foreign aid to Egypt to keep it under its control and keep it pro-Israel, so it is quite possible that the Judaists and their American puppets made a deal with Egypt’s Al Sisi to help them bring down a Russian passenger jet (by allowing maybe a bomb to slip through security and be put on board) in retaliation for the Russian involvement in Syria which interfered with Israel’s plan for a Greater Israel.
Egypt will arrest a man or a woman who did this and blame him/her for it, (or tie him to ISIS or Islamic Brotherhood) when the whole thing is planned and approved by the Americans, all the way to Obama, Netenyahu and their masters, the Neo-cons and/or the Jewish Oligarchs, like George Soros.
Incidentally, 10/31/15 was Sat, Shabbat is a holy day for the Judaists. Mount Sinai where Moses received the tablets from God, and a holy land too, a good place to do human sacrifices, and kill Israel’s enemies.
Killing Israel’s enemies on Shabbat in the land where the “Jews” wandered for 40 years and the Moses received the stone tablets from God.
It is basically a message to Russia to get out of the Middle East and let Israel and Jew-S-A rule the Middle East unhindered.
Putin is also being punished for exposing the Damascus sarin gas false flag operation, thwarting USAF bombing Assad. Like The Godfather movie, a cold dead fish is being delivered to the Kremlin.
Israel did this…they shot down a civilian airlines in 1972. Egyptian.
Jews control the security at every airport across the globe, therefore they ( the mossad) could place a bomb in the Russian airliner. The Russians should do the same to the TERROR state. The only language these devils understand,an ey for an ey.
