EgyptAir tweeted that a plane carrying 69 passengers and crew on a
flight from Paris to Cairo went missing on Thursday, disappearing from
radar over the Mediterranean Sea.
"An official source at EgyptAir said that Flight MS804, which departed
Paris at 23:09 (CEST), heading to Cairo has disappeared from radar," the
airline said on its official Twitter account. The aircraft was
carrying 56 passengers including a toddler and 2 babies and 10 crew
members.
Reuters reported in January that an EgyptAir mechanic, whose cousin
joined Islamic State in Syria, is suspected of planting the bomb,
according to sources familiar with the matter.
In March, an EgyptAir plane flying from Alexandria to Cairo was hijacked
and forced to land in Cyprus by a man with what authorities said was a
fake suicide belt. He was arrested after giving himself up.
