Well, somebody is going to get rich because the Egyptian police just arrested 2 Sharm al Sheik airport employees.

I found several reports of denials that it's happened, seems that hasn't stopped some of the Brit papers carrying the story this morning.

It seems that the Dutch sites have removed the article. Maybe they were a bit premature.

Probably why I can't find it then, at least not in the usual places. False alarm I guess.

Here's one from RT, several versions of this denial are knocking around the internet sump right now; https://www.rt.com/news/322398-egypt-suspects-bomb-sinai/.

The Egyptian investigation hasn't found a single trace or clue for a bomb on the plane. So Egypt says no bomb, Russia claims there was a bomb.

Egypt trying to save their economy. Russia seeking for some sort of justification?

So what does Egypt claim brought it down? Should have a reason other than it's not that.

It's easier to rule out foul play than finding the actual problem, seeing that there were bits of planes everywhere.

It wasn't a plane, it was plane colored confetti. The people are still in Egypt on a lifetime vacation.

Explosives leave traces... easier to exclude them than to find a mechanical cause.

How did I miss this plane crash?

Is this the Russian airliner that was shot down/blew up that I heard about recently? I don't remember anything about it being over Egypt.

Yup. Departed Egypt, and myths are a guy slung a bomb inside the aft cargo bay while at the gate.

Where was this disproven? I don't see the Egyptian authorities doing anything recent with the investigation.

Has it been proven? No, it's a myth, or an unproven tail.

Maybe you're not on their mailing list for some reason? The investigation continues whether or not Fox say it does. If they've found no traces of explosives then that suggests that indeed they have been doing something. Like looking for traces of explosives, for example.

Which is a whole lot easier than searching for that failed part or burned wire.

No need to insult where I get my news. Like @Keef, I haven't been following the investigation too closely either.

 

[Dennisch]

The Russian newspaper Kommersant claims that a team of international investigators state that it was a bomb in the cargobay that brought this plane down.
