Russian passenger jet shot down according to ISIS

MOSCOW — A Russian charter flight ferrying 224 passengers and crew to St. Petersburg from the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh crashed soon after taking off early Saturday, killing everyone onboard, officials in Egypt and Russia said.

The plane, an 18-year-old Airbus A321, disappeared from radar screens about 25 minutes after it took off from the Egyptian resort, according to official accounts. The pilot had radioed that he had technical problems and needed to make an emergency landing, press reports in Egypt quoted officials there as saying.

Hours after the crash, a branch of the Islamic State operating in the Sinai Peninsula issued a claim of responsibility. There has been a violent insurgency for several years against the Egyptian government in Sinai, but there has been no indication that the terrorist organization there possesses the weapons needed to bring down a plane from a high altitude.
