										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Egyptian authorities have said for the first time that the Russian commercial jet that crashed on 31st October last year in Egypt&#8217;s Sinai Peninsula was deliberately downed by terrorists.</p>
<p>Metrojet flight 9268 was heading to St. Petersburg, Russia, when it went down, killing all 224 people on-board. Islamic State had immediately claimed the responsibility, and Moscow’s investigation report had also claimed that a bomb downed the plane. However, the local authorities previously rejected these claims and maintained that a technical fault caused the accident.</p>
<p>In a television speech on February 24th, the Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said, “Has terrorism ended? No it has not, but it will if we unite. Whoever downed the Russian plane, what did he mean? He meant to hit tourism, and to hit relations with Russia.”</p>
<p>Sisi’s comments are the first official indication from Egypt that the plane was deliberately crashed.</p><p>The post <a href="https://airflightdisaster.com/metrojet-flight-9268-crash-egyptian-president-says-the-plane-was-deliberately-downed/" data-wpel-link="internal" target="_self">Metrojet Flight 9268 Crash: Egyptian President Says the Plane was Deliberately Downed</a> first appeared on <a href="https://airflightdisaster.com" data-wpel-link="internal" target="_self">George Hatcher's Air Flight Disaster</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>
