Allegedly Linked to A321 Plane Crash Spoke in British Accents

in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, whose communications with Islamic State
(ISIL) group’s leadership indicated they could have been behind the
crash of a Russian airliner in the area, spoke in British accents,
the UK media reported.

MOSCOW
(Sputnik) — The Telegraph newspaper said late Saturday it had
picked up on reports suggesting that British-born jihadists could
have been involved in the air tragedy in Sinai, a desert region where
militant insurgency has been on the rise since last year.
The
British outlet said it was too early to claim that perpetrators were
British, but if confirmed this would move the issue of ISIL
recruiting Britons high up the UK government’s anti-terrorist
agenda.
UK
and US officials said earlier this week there was a possibility that
the crashed Russian airliner could have been brought down by a bomb.
The Airbus A321 was flying from the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh
to St. Petersburg when it crashed, killing all 224 people on board.
UK
media reports cited British investigators, who help with the
Egypt-led inquiry into the cause of the plan crash, saying their
suspicion was based on intercepted communications between
ISIL-affiliated militants operating in the Sinai peninsula and their
leaders.
