All evidence points out at a technical cause of the Russian passenger plane crash in Egypt that killed all 224 people on board, an Egyptian government spokesman said Tuesday.
"All evidence points out at a technical problem on board that caused the plane crash," Hossam Qawish said.
On October 31, an Airbus A321, operated by the Russian airline Kogalymavia, crashed in the Sinai Peninsula while flying from the Egyptian resort city of Sharm El-Sheikh to St. Petersburg.
The Egyptian authorities said earlier on Tuesday they had wrapped up the search operation at the site of the crash, and were awaiting for data from two recovered flight recorders to advance the investigation.
