Russian airliner missing over Egypt

So if the USA/UK with the most capable intelligence services in the world still haven't found Jihadi John, how exactly is Egypt going find whoever committed this atrocity? I fear you're underestimating how difficult it is for security services to operate in areas controlled by Islamic State, which is why of course, their strategy is based on occupying land.

Who is to say we haven't found JJ already? :) you're right that it's very difficult though.
 
As pressure mounts on Putin to face the facts about the suspected bombing, Russia's media is increasingly convinced that his clumsy invasion of Syria is responsible:

Business daily Vedomosti is convinced - despite Kremlin denials - that a terrorist attack is the crash investigators' "main theory". The paper links the incident to Russian involvement in Syria, and notes that "the Kremlin seems to be aiming to avoid even a hint about this connection".

It blames the Russian government "for ignoring the risks of being involved in a complex multi-dimensional conflict in the Middle East, of which the risk of retaliatory terrorist attacks was, probably, the most obvious one".

Yegor Kholmogorov, writing in the pro-government daily Izvestia, also believes there is a link with Russian air strikes against rebels in Syria.

"Russia's operation in Syria has greatly raised the geopolitical stakes. In effect, our country has made a comeback to the ranks of superpowers. And membership of this club is accompanied by extreme risks."

Well if we've found him, why haven't we done anything with him?

He's gone a bit quiet hasn't he? I doubt "we" have found him but I wouldn't be surprised if ISIS have quietly topped him. The propaganda of him being caught would be bad for them so getting rid of him quietly would mean his legend lives on forever.

The plot thickens - It appears that Israeli, US, Polish and Greek air forces were holding their largest ever joint drills only 40km away from the Sinai crash site on the day the metrojet went down.

Nope. Just nope. Not entertaining that conspiracy theory :)

OK - Just keep this in mind though:

9/11: Norad failed because USAF carried out biggest ever terrorism drills on day of attack.
London Tube bombings: UK Met were carrying out terrorist drills on day of attack.
USS Liberty attack: Israel carrying of Navy drills on day the Liberty Sunk.
Sinai air disaster: Israeli coalition carryout biggest ever AF drills 40 miles away from Metrojet crash site.
 
USS Liberty

holy ****e - Israel openly attacked the warship in international waters AFTER she identified herself as a USN ship; the attack also lasted a number of hours the nearby carrier battle group launched air craft when they received the message saying it was under attack - then for admiral to be ordered by the president to turn the fighters back!

don't change history

1. How does an airforce conduct a terrorism drill?
2. How often do they do these?
3. That probably was Israeli forces
4. Wut? Even then, 40miles is pretty long way for an air to air missle. Besides in a joint exercise wouldn't the aircraft from all those other nations pick up a missle launch? Wouldn't they be annoyed live munitions were be used in an exercise?

We can talk more about this soon as he shows pictures of an external missile strike on the airframe.

I feel we could be waiting a VERY long time.
