    In a new news re #Sinai plane crash a new report revealed a #UK plane barely survived a missile fired near Sharm el-Sheikh last year..

    Reports that an IS SAM missed an UK airliner by 300 meters in August this year....UK and US kept it quiet.

    UK airliner had to dodge a missile while nearing #sharmelsheikh airport. But govt decided it was OK

    Default Was it a SAM or something else?

    To be fair the BBC is reporting:
    The British government investigated and concluded the incident was linked to routine Egyptian military activity and was not a "targeted attack".....Aviation security experts told BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner it had involved artillery practice by the Egyptian army.

    There has been press reporting here of chaotic airport security @ Sharm, with bribes to pass through screening and poor security for airport staff. One gets the impression these reports did not reach anyone brave enough to refer the concerns to politicians.

    The SAM launch in August cover story of "friendly fire" was simply a cover story in order to not to admit that IS had in fact launched a SAM and in order to not disturb the "tourists/tourist industry" which is important to Egypt.

    If you go back to the extremely limited "military SAM launch story"--there was not much at all carried even by social media--and the "military SAM" was never ID'd nor was they any explanation for a military exercise being carried out near the runway take off area that commercial airliners were using to gain height on.

    Actually if one tracks the cover story--social media only picked up on it in the last two days--a SAM launch friendly or otherwise would have been a massive red signal flare to social media--but nothing of the kind occurred.

    BTW--Putin's actions following the bombing have been a tad "odd"--for the first 72 hours virtually no comment, then a short press release and he still has not gone to St. Petersburg where many of the families are from AND that his is so called "home town".

    Secondly his actions in organizing just ten planes to bring home an estimated 70K Russian tourists are the actions of an "amateur" not at all the image of this "shirtless superman of a Russian leader".

    For days after air crash Russian TV said little about terror theory. Last night's bulletin had long report about 'Sinai Province' jihadists

    So is the next move by the Russian military and Putin "in defeating IS--into Egypt?????

    Russia never misses a chance or the info warriors to blame the Wes for just about anything and everything.........FROM this time Sputnik fully owned by the Russian government....

    RussiaLies by trying to blame the West for #EgyptCrash.
    Sputnik suspects that British MI6 agents planted the bomb.
