They are talking about ensuring people can get back without saying how so it's bound to be the RAF.
I reckon there's a chance the Russians will deny it was a bomb at all. Putin won't want Russians pissed off that him going into Syria has caused Russian civilians to die. If they do acknowledge it was a bomb he will have to react or he loses credibility.
The Russians love having a hard bastard in charge and if he can't live up to that his long term prospects are pretty much fucked. He'd rather it not be a bomb.
Yeah this could get very messy. Biggest winner from all this has to be Assad.
One wonders whether, were they not busy trying to get their hands on ALL THE INFORMATION IN THE WORLD, the intelligence services might have picked up on this bomb plot evidence before the plane went splodey.
Maybe they did.
To be fair, they only had the metadata.
The possibility of evacuation smacks of arse covering. We already don't really want anything to do with this conflict (apart from some useless bombing that we know is useless but allows us to point at it and say we're doing something) if a plane full of Brits was downed we'd be obliged to actually think of a competent response.
These terrorists probably don't even use tech in Sinai, looks like they didn't need to bother especially with the airport security being so lol. IS compatriots gave them the bomb all they needed to do was get it on with the baggage and a timer. Half the staff slept on the job apparently.
IS is claiming these were the components of the bomb:
Surely that can't be true?
This might or might not be sinister (she's dead now so it doesn't matter) but look at this prime bit of real estate the Muzzies took out on that plane: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...ng-Moscow.html
Absolutely nailed on for a career as a top earner on Live Jasmin.
Hazy Instagram pictures of a 15-year-old. Nice.
That article is disgraceful.
Not missing, but only place to put it.

Time for another 3 straight weeks of coverage. At least it will distract CNN from Trump for a bit.
(Sad that something like this happens and the first thing I think of is the news coverage.)
That's what I like to see five hours before I take off.
Egypt Air + Malaysia Airlines = Air Crash Investigation Season 16.
It's crashed.
What caused it?
Fire on board that started in the toilets. Apparently.
That's got be either an electrical fault or deliberate, surely?
I'd say most signs point to it being caused by human input either deliberately or someone has tried to sneak something into the toilets, like a crafty smoke or something.
What is a little weird is the planes last 2 actions were to make a sharp 90 degree left turn, then it did a 360 degree turn back to the right.
Presumably someone lit up the most chronic blunt of all time and the smoke drifted into the cockpit.
Too fast for a fire, too slow for a bomb.
Maybe one of Mert's BBall shots knocked it out of the sky.
