The possibility that a bomb was put on the plane at Sharm el-Sheikh led several countries to suspend flights to that airport.〔 With its death toll of 224 people,〔 the crash of Flight 9268 is the deadliest both in the history of Russian aviation〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=No Survivors Found at Crash Site of Russian Plane )〕 and within Egyptian territory. It is also the deadliest air crash involving an aircraft from the Airbus A320 family, the deadliest plane crash of 2015 to date, and the deadliest aircraft bombing since Pan Am Flight 103 in 1988. Shortly after the crash, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)'s Sinai Branch, previously known as Ansar Bait al-Maqdis, claimed responsibility for the incident, which occurred in the vicinity of the Sinai insurgency.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Updates: Russian airliner crashes in Egypt's Sinai peninsula )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Russian plane that crashed in Egypt 'broke up in air' )〕 ISIL claimed responsibility on Twitter, on video, and in a statement by Abu Osama al-Masri, the leader of the group's Sinai branch.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Abu Osama al-Masri: Portrait of the Egyptian terrorist suspected of downing Russian plane )〕 ISIL posted pictures of what it said was the bomb in ''Dabiq'', its online magazine.〔 By 4 November 2015, British and American authorities suspected that a bomb was responsible for the crash.〔 On 8 November 2015, an anonymous member of the Egyptian investigation team said the investigators were "90 percent sure" that the jet was brought down by a bomb. Lead investigator Ayman al-Muqaddam said that other possible causes of the crash included a fuel explosion, metal fatigue, and lithium batteries overheating. The Russian Federal Security Service announced on 17 November that they were sure that it was a terrorist attack, caused by an improvised bomb containing the equivalent of up to of TNT that detonated during the flight. The Russians said they had found explosive residue as evidence. ==Aircraft== The aircraft was an 18-year-old Airbus A321-231, serial number 663.〔 It was delivered to Middle East Airlines in May 1997 with a registration code of F-OHMP. In 2003, it was leased by Onur Air and, beginning in 2007, it was subleased to Saudi Arabian Airlines and other carriers. In April 2012, Kolavia acquired the plane with a new registration of EI-ETJ and transferred it to Kogalymavia in May.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Metrojet Russia EI-ETJ (Airbus A321 – MSN 663) (Ex F-OHMP TC-OAE ) – Airfleets aviation )〕 The aircraft was powered by two IAE V2533 engines and configured to carry 220 passengers in an economy configuration plus crew seats.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=EI-ETJ Metrojet Airbus A321-231 – cn 663 )〕 At the time of the crash, it was owned by Dublin-based AerCap and leased to Kolavia. The aircraft had accumulated 56,000 flight hours on nearly 21,000 flights. On 16 November 2001, while operating for Middle East Airlines as F-OHMP, the aircraft suffered a tailstrike landing in Cairo. It was repaired and went back into service with the airline in 2002. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Metrojet Flight 9268」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
