EGYPT: PLANE CRASH WAS LIKELY TERRORISM: Egyptian Civil Aviation minister Sherif Fathy admitted on,19 May 2016 that terrorism is the most likely explanation for the downing of EgyptAir flight MS804. The plane, heading from Paris to Cairo, disappeared from the radar early Thursday morning while flying over the Mediterranean. Egyptian authorities earlier said an "explosion" had brought down the plane, which was carrying 56 passengers and 10 crew members. Fathy acknowledged that "if you analysis the situation properly the possibility of having a terror attack is higher than the possibility of having a technical problem." In confirming the discovery of the first fragments of the plane approximately 100 nautical miles away from where the plane was initially believed to have crashed, Greek authorities expressed fears that a suicide bomber may have hijacked the plane first and cut contact, before detonating himself and killing everyone on board. The Egyptian military said Friday that it had located more wreckage from EgyptAir flight 804 in the Mediterranean Sea. Israel’s PM Netanyahu telephoned Egypt's president, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, late Thur. to express Israel's condolences over the disappearance of the EgyptAir flight. (Arutz-7)
