EGYPT RESTRICTS UK RESCUE FLIGHTS
Egyptian authorities are restricting flights sent to rescue British tourists, who were stranded at the Sharm el-Sheikh airport after Saturday’s crash of a Russian plane, the BBC reports. Some 20 flights were planned to take British tourists back home today, but it appears that only about eight will depart. According to The Guardian, people on board those flights are only being allowed to take hand luggage and are being asked to leave the rest in Egypt, after British investigators said they believed the Russian aircraft was brought down by a bomb placed in the hold just before it departed from Sharm el-Sheikh.
