Barack Obama allowed a version of the attack on board A321

US President Barack Obama admitted that the collapse of the Russian A321 aircraft over the Sinai Peninsula was caused by an explosion of a bomb on board. According to Reuters, Obama said this in an interview with Kiro/CBS News Radio. “I think there is a probability that the bomb was on board. We perceive it very seriously,” he added.

The fact that the cause of the crash of Kogalymavia airline was a detonation of an explosive device, the representative of the White House Josh Ernest also said . According to him, this is evidenced by some data at the disposal of the US authorities and confirming what the British Prime Minister David Cameron previously said. Earlier, the British prime minister expressed the opinion that the A321 liner crashed due to the bomb explosion. Ernest added that the American authorities intend to strengthen security measures at flights heading to the United States.

According to The Times, American and British intelligence were able to intercept the alleged messages of the Islamic state militants about the A321 bomb on board. The data obtained as a result of a joint operation when using satellite tracking indicate that the explosive device was carried on board in a passenger baggage. The publication notes that soon passengers leaving the charm Esh-shih will ban the baggage on board. It will be delivered to the airport with special flights after a thorough check.

According to the sources of "Kommersant", the decryption of the parametric self -recorder of the liner did not help to establish the cause of the plane crash. The fixation of the operating modes of all systems of the aircraft by the registrar stopped instantly after the separation of the tail in which the device was located, the newspaper writes. The catastrophic situation on board developed so quickly that the pilots who controlled the plane most likely also did not manage to react to it. Therefore, the recordings of a speech script, which was also badly damaged, may also be useless.

The opinion of Barack Obama about the reasons for the crash of Kogalymavia liner is only one of the versions, said the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov. “The US president did not make any unambiguous judgments,” Peskov added. He emphasized that "the investigation is being conducted, during which none of the options are excluded a priori." Peskov also said that Britain did not provide Russia with intelligence, on which the assumption of the bomb is based. “We do not know what data our British colleagues operate,” added Vladimir Putin's spokesman.

The aircraft flying from Sharm Esh-Sheikh to Petersburg crashed in the morning on October 31 near the airport of the city of El-Arysh in Sinai. There were 217 passengers on board, of which 24 children, and seven crew members. All of them died. This is the largest disaster in the history of Russian and Soviet civil aviation. Among the dead were four citizens of Ukraine and one - Belarus. The rest of the passengers and crew members were Russians.
