Russian Plane Likely Taken Down By ISIS Bomb


CNN has learned from multiple intelegence officials that a bomb was likely the cause of the recent Russian aircraft crash over the weekend.

“There is a definite feeling it was an explosive device planted in luggage or somewhere on the plane,” the official, who is familiar with the latest U.S. intelligence analysis of the crash, told CNN.

Other U.S. officials also told CNN that the analysis is pointing toward the cause being a bomb.

Based on the same intelligence, the U.S. belief is that ISIS or an ISIS-affiliated group is responsible for the attack, the official said.

The British government announced Wednesday that it had “become concerned that the plane may well have been brought down by an explosive device.”

While official confirmation has not yet been made, its becoming clear that the current concensus lays the blame squarely at the feet of ISIS.
