ISIS Bomb Photo Shows Device Which Allegedly Downed Russian Airliner

SYRIA – Nov. 18 (Gephartd Daily) ─ The ISIS propaganda magazine “Dabiq” has published a photo it claims is the bomb used to take down the Russian airplane above Egypt, resulting in the deaths of all 224 aboard.

The image shows a soda can next to what looks like an improvised detonator.

According to London’s Daily Mail, the photo is titled “Just Terror,” and the article claimed that “after resolving to bring down a plane belonging to a nation in the American-led Western coalition against Isis, the target was changed to a Russian plane”.

“A bomb was smuggled onto the airplane,” it added, not explaining how.

The magazine emphasized the message that the Russian jet was targeted after Vladimir Putin ordered air strikes inside Syria – a common theme throughout much of the group’s recent propaganda, the Daily Mail reported.

The magazine also described “a selection of military operations” it claimed justified the attack on the airliner.
