Officials say Russian jet was bombed

Investigators have said that they are 99.9 per cent sure their aircraft was brought down by a bomb after confirmation noise heard on the black box recording was an explosion.

 Rep. Mike McCaul, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, has said he is convinced that ISIS are behind the terror attacks, comparing it to the 9/11 terror attacks.

The Russian-bound commercial jet had crashed in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula on October 21, killing all 224 people on board - the majority of whom were Russian

According to CNN, spies have been analysing terrorist chatter to determine to what extent the operatives were talking about the type of bomb and the detonator used.

One official said: 'It's 99.9 per cent certain. We believe it was likely brought down by a bomb.'

Meanwhile Egyptian investigators say they too are '90 per cent' sure the noise heard in the final second of the cockpit recording was an explosion.

A member of the investigation team revealed: 'The indications and analysis so far of the sound on the black box indicate it was a bomb.

'We are 90 per cent sure it was a bomb.'
Asked to explain the missing 10 per cent he added: 'I can't discuss this now.'
