Russian plane crash: Egypt denies arresting suspects

Egypt today said it has not arrested any suspects in connection with the Russian plane crash, amid reports that the authorities are holding 17 people, including two airport employees, on suspicion of assisting those who planted the explosives on the ill-fated flight. In a statement, Interior Ministry denied the reports of arresting Sharm el-Shiekh International Airport employees in connection with the bomb attack that brought down the Russian plane in Sinai last month, killing all 224 people on board.   Russia’s Federal Security Service announced a $50 million reward for information leading to arrest of the criminals. A militant group affiliated to ISIS had claimed responsibility for the plane attack.
