ISIS: "We shot down the Russian airliner, soon we will demonstrate our new modus operandi to the world"

"It was we who brought down the Russian airliner, we will soon provide evidence of what we have accomplished. Let the Egyptian government try to prove otherwise ". This is what was declared by the Islamic State, in an audio recording published a few hours ago on social media used by terrorists.

The militant branch in the Sinai Peninsula, in the voice (presumably) of Abu Osama al-Masri, says that soon the world will know the modus operandi Isis. The recording, titled "We felled him are dead wrapped in our anger", does not, however, prove the involvement of the fundamentalist movement. The same Amaq site, very close to the terrorists, would have asked the latter (through preferential channels) to provide evidence of killing.

Al-Masri, who has already made recordings for the group in the past, also points out in the audio that the attack occurred exactly one year after the loyalty commitment signed with Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Flight data collected from the site Flightradar24 showed that the direct plane from Sharm el-Sheikh to St. Petersburg, with 222 people on board, reached 31,000 feet before violently losing power and starting the descent to the ground at almost 500 km / h. The last 26 seconds of the Airbus 321, in the data decoded a few hours ago, reveal detailed information compatible with a sudden catastrophic accident, even if it is not yet possible to determine whether it was caused by a bomb, by a mechanical error, by a failure structural or external impact. The plane's transponder reveals that the plane reached its cruising target at the 06: 13 when it began its fatal descent.

In those tragic 26 seconds, the plane loses altitude faster and faster until the signal is lost. There would be strong indications of an alleged structural failure of the aircraft. On Monday, the Pentagon revealed that an American spy satellite would have detected a large "flash of heat" from the plane's position. However, there would be no heat trail that would prove the launch of a surface-to-air missile. Returning to the audio message of the militant branch in the Sinai peninsula, it is almost certainly a propaganda for internal use. If this were not the case, we could open up a background up to now not even imagined.
