Increasing signs indicate downing of Egyptian plane was ISIS attack
There are growing signs that the crash of EgyptAir flight 804 from Paris to Cairo into the Mediterranean before dawn on Thursday was an act of terror. Greek Defense Minister Panos Kammenos said the plane made “sudden swerves” in midair and turned 360 degrees before it disappeared from radar screens, while residents of Greek islands reported that they saw a ball of fire falling from the sky. In France, the prosecutor general announced that he was opening a criminal investigation into the circumstances of the crash, and French President Francois Hollande officially announced that “the plane crashed.” Analysis of the plane’s flights before reaching Paris showed that it had landed in Eritrea and Tunisia.
