ISIS claims responsibility for Russian jet crash: Victims 'found over three-mile radius' after plane with 224 on board crashes in Egypt leaving no survivors - but officials blame 'technical fault'
ISIS has claimed responsibility for downing a Russian jet killing 224 passengers and four crew over the Egyptian Sinai desert. In an attempt to score a propaganda victory from the disaster, a jihadi news service claimed: 'The soldiers of the caliphate succeeded in bringing down a Russian plane in Sinai.' The pilot of the doomed passenger jet was trying to bring the stricken aircraft into el-Arish airport in northern Sinai after radioing that the Airbus A321, bottom right, was suffering technical difficulties. Egyptian security forces reported that the jet split into two sections after it struck the ground some 60 miles from the airport. Witnesses claimed that bodies have been spread over a three-mile radius, as pictures of the victims begin to emerge, centre. The aircraft vanished from radar screens 23 minutes, top right, after taking off from the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh and was en-route to St Petersburg. Russian president Vladimir Putin has ordered his own team of investigators to the crash scene to determine what happened to the Irish-registered jet which was leased to a small Russian airline.
