(VOVworld) - Russian Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday special services believe the reason for the A321 passenger plane crash over Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula on October 31 was a terrorist act. Peskov’s comment refuted Cairo’s preliminary report that was released earlier in the day. Earlier on Monday, Investigator in Charge, Captain Ayman El Mokaddem, was quoted in a press release that so far there is no information that would indicate any unlawful wrongdoing or act of terrorism. In mid November, Russia announced bomb explosion caused the crash of its A321 plane in Sinai, Egypt. The announcement was made following Paris attacks that killed 130 people and injured more than 300 people. The IS has claimed responsibility for both Paris attacks and the plane crash in Egypt.
