(Moscow) – The death of 224 passengers on a downed Russian jet was an abhorrent act of mass killing. Russian authorities confirmed on November 17, 2015, that the October 31 crash of a Russian jet over the Sinai Peninsula, killing all 224 people on board, was the result of a bomb placed on board. The crash was the worst in the history of Russian civilian aviation.
The extremist group Islamic State (also known as ISIS) claimed responsibility for the crash.
