Bomb That Brought Down Russian Jet Was Placed By Airport Employee [REPORT]

The BBC is reporting that UK investigations by intelligence agencies are pointing more and more to the presence of a bomb on the plane prior to take off with the possibility of an airport employee being responsible for the crash that killed all 224 people on board the plane.

The Metrojet Airbus A321 took off from Sharm el-Sheikh with a flight plan filed for an arrival in St. Petersburg, Russia. The flight came apart in the air over the Sinai Peninsula on Saturday and the bulk of the remains also came down in Sinai.

British intelligence is claiming to have received information about the crash from intercepted communications between militants in the Sinai.
