British aviation experts who have arrived in Sharm El-sheikh to assess airport and flight safety were not the source of a theory that a bomb may have been on board flight 7K9268, a defense source told a Sky News correspondent.
The British prime minister's official spokesperson said in a statement earlier in the day that all flights from Sharm El-Sheikh International Airport en route to the United Kingdom were delayed, citing speculation that the Russian airliner "may well have been" brought down by a bomb.
The spokesperson said it could not say "categorically" why the Airbus A321 crashed Saturday, but reached the decision to suspend flights "as more information has come to light."
