EgyptAir mechanic suspected In Russian plane crash

An EgyptAir mechanic whose cousin joined Islamic State in Syria is suspected of planting a bomb on a Russian passenger plane that was blown out of Egypt's skies in late October. So far Egypt has publicly said it has found no evidence that the MetroJet flight was brought down by terrorism. A senior security official at the airline denied that any of its employees had been arrested or were under suspicion, and an Interior Ministry official also said there had been no arrests. But people familiar with the matter said the mechanic had been detained, along with 2 airport policemen and a baggage handler suspected of helping him put the bomb on board. The EgyptAir senior security official said state security police had investigated all workers at Sharm el-Sheikh airport without finding any evidence implicating any of them. <br/>
