The
Egyptian Prime Minister, Sherif Ismail has visited the site where a Russian
airliner carrying 224 passengers crashed in Egypt's Sinai peninsula.
The Airbus A321, operated by Russian
airline Kogalymavia under the brand name Metrojet, was flying from the Red Sea
resort of Sharm el-Sheikh to St Petersburg in Russia when it went down in
central Sinai soon after daybreak.
The crash site in the Wadi al-Zolomat area of North Sinai was littered with numerous blackened parts of the plane.
There were no bodies visible but soldiers guarded dozen of bags as well as suitcases of passengers from the flight .
The plane lost contact with air traffic control 23 minutes after take-off.
According to the Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, while the government was mindful of the sensitivity of the situation, it required painstaking investigations to determine what actually happened to the airbus.
Al-Sisi says an investigation into the cause of Saturday's Russian plane crash which killed 224 people, could take months.
Investigators have recovered the plane's "black box" flight recorder and the Egyptian government said its contents were being analysed.
Russian delegates arrived in Egypt to begin probe into the air that led to the disaster.
The civil aviation minister, Mohamed Hossam Kemal, says investigation is underway to determine the cause of the crash.
