The EgyptAir A320 flying from Paris to Cairo disappeared from radar screens in the early morning of May 19 over the Mediterranean Sea. There were 66 people on board the aircraft, including 10 crew members, citizens of 12 countries.
Egyptian Civil Aviation Minister Sherif Fathi said a terrorist attack was considered more likely than a technical malfunction to cause the A320 to crash.
The NBC television channel, citing a representative of the American intelligence services, reported signs of an explosion on board the aircraft. According to the source, this is evidenced, in particular, by data from satellites. Reuters sources later denied this information. *
