#1 US Intelligence is also leaning towards a bomb. That says that somebody on the inside had to plant that bomb. The gate workers, airplane cleaners, caterers, luggage handlers, and mechanics are the likely suspects.

White boarding: Gather a cell of [all source] analysts/thinkers and a senior facilitator, butcher paper potential Courses of Action (COA) or scenarios on the walls, and start rank ordering and cell voting based on available data and intelligence inputs. No COA too obvious, none too junior or senior, none too bizarre or out-of-the-box.

Continue this effort across shifts for a couple of days and you will be surprised what conclusions and supporting data surface.

Actually, come to think of it, not too much unlike the Burg.

#6 "Intercepted communications played a role in the tentative conclusion that the Islamic State group’s Sinai affiliate planted an explosive device on the Russian plane, according to a US official being quoted by the Associated Press."

Discussion prior to the explosion. They know more than they are saying. They need to protect means and sources.

#8 The United Kingdom and Israel have more to gain by blowing up two Russian planes.

That would be an act of war. No, not even 0bama is dumb enough to do that.

Unolumble,
Don't want to admit to Islamic terrorist?

If there was a bomb there will be residue. Residue will lead to sources. The world is not so big. In fact, the meter is already running.

#9 Why UK?

It's a habitual and usually incoherent troll from the Pacific Northwest area. Normally he gets deleted.
