I really have no idea because the culprits could be any of many suspects. The Iranians or Syrian govt agents could have framed ISIL to get Putin more involved on their side. Iran has been known to conduct terror operations abroad in Thailand, Panama, Argentina, Bulgaria and elsewhere. Could be them to enrage Russians to attack ISIS. Could be ISIS as they claim or a loyalist Islamist group like the Muslim Brotherhood. It could be rogue elements of Egyptian intelligence or it could be the Russians themselves or the CIA or Mossad. Or it could just be technical failure. From what I hear and read -- the airliner had a bad safety record. One thing I do know -- tourism makes up about 15-20% of Egypt's economy & tourism revenues have fallen from 260 million UK pounds in 2011 to 10 million pounds UK in 2014 so the Egyptian economy is hurting bad from the fall off in tourism numbers. The tourist count is down I've read over 75% since the Arab Spring started. The UK and Russia have suspended flights to Sharm El Shaikh where this occurred so its hurting Egypt, badly economically. Somehow given the blow to tourism I just can't see Egypt being behind it, they have too much to lose. Rogue elements of the CIA -- that I can believe. The dictator/president of Egypt El-Sisi has improved ties with Putin while hurting his ties with the USA so it could be a move to push Russia away from Egypt or vice versa. Either way sadly the only people who really suffer are the victims of the crash and their families and the average Egyptian on the street who works in the tourism business who can't pay his bills. Egypt is a nation of70 million people. That's a lot of mouths to feed considering they don't grow or produce much of anything and have high levels of poverty. If it was ISIS there was a missile that was shot @ an UK airliner a few weeks back. If terrorists in the Sinai have shoulder fired Russian SA2s/MANPADS or US stinger anti-aircraft missiles -- they probably got it from Qaddafi's stash in Libya. Sad -- I hope it turns out to be structural failure, I hope the Egyptians can get their economy moving again. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/travel_news/article-2738446/Egypt-hit-95-decline-tourism-revenue-western-travel-warnings-social-unrest-blame.html http://knoema.com/atlas/Egypt/topics/Tourism/Travel-and-Tourism-Total-Contribution-to-GDP/Total-Contribution-to-GDP-percent-share http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2015/10/egypt-us-relations-sisi-visit.html# http://english.alarabiya.net/en/perspective/analysis/2015/08/27/Russia-Egypt-relations-Farewell-to-old-alliances-.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3311460/In-Egypt-angry-talk-Western-conspiracy-plane-crash.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3308249/Egyptian-tourist-bosses-launch-m-going-Sharm-campaign-pictures-stranded-Britons-making-extra-time-away.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/article-2605863/Egypts-tourism-revenue-drop-nearly-50-holidaymakers-avoid-troubled-coast.html All I know is -- the conspiracy theories are man -- but the answers, few.
