CAIRO (AP) — The Islamic State group has released a photo of the bomb it says was used to bring down a Russian passenger plane in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula last month, killing all 224 people on board.
The picture was published in the latest issue of the extremist group’s English-language magazine, with the caption “EXCLUSIVE – Image of the IED used to bring down the Russian airliner.”
The picture showed a yellow can of Schweppes Gold soda and what appeared to be other bomb components.
The extremist group, which has a powerful affiliate in the Sinai, had previously claimed to have downed the plane without offering further details.
Russia’s FSB security service said Tuesday that a bomb brought down the plane. Most of those onboard were Russian tourists. Egypt says it is still investigating the cause of the crash.

Tool belts, soda cans, pressure cookers, shoes. You can’t say these young terrorist are not innovative. Imagine if these same young people used their innovativeness for good? How do we convince these young people that killing people is not helping their cause. If anything is just makes them seem like shit for brains who are led by people who would never be asked to blow themselves up. The ISIS leaders are probably a bunch of old rich guys sitting around in luxury while letting their brainwashed young people go out an kill themselves.
