Security fears. Growing belief that bomb brought down KGL9268 and that ground crew at Sharm el Shikh Airport aided or planted the bomb.
Embarrassment for Russia, which had been bombing insurgents in Syria for a month. Huge propaganda achievement for ISIS if that is who is responsible. Embarrassment for U.S., also. The U.S. had been saying Russia was not bombing ISIS, they were bombing anti-Assad rebels that the U.S. supported. They were bombing ISIS enough to get this as reprisal! Devastating blow to Egypt, which had taken a lead role in the region in combating ISIS, had said they had Sinai under control, took great umbrage at Britain's earlier "conclusion" that a bomb had been planted, now are revealed to be typical incompetent Egyptians who didn't have airport security under control much less all of Sinai; Egyptian economy, heavily dependent upon tourism, takes major hit, tourism industry all but dried up. Have a nice day.
