The revelation comes days after a Russian passenger jet crashed in the Sinai region last weekend, killing all 224 people aboard. U.S. and UK officials have said there may have a bomb aboard the jet, an assertion Egypt has said is premature.
Egyptian aviation officials plan to hold a news conference Saturday amid dueling theories on what caused the Russian passenger jet to crash.
European investigators who analyzed the two flight recorders from the Russian Metrojet plane that crashed in Egypt are saying the crash is not an accident, CNN affiliate France 2 reported Friday.
The investigators said the cockpit voice recorder of Metrojet Flight 9268 shows an explosion and the flight data recorder confirms the explosion was not accidental, and there was no sign of mechanical malfunction during the initial part of the flight, France 2 reported.
Everything was fine during the first 24 minutes, then in a fraction of a second there was a blackout and no further cockpit conversation, convincing investigators there was a bomb on board, according to France 2.
