Russia, Egypt ignore FBI offer of assistance in plane crash probe

Neither Russia nor Egypt has accepted an offer from the FBI to help them in investigating the crash of Metrojet flight 9268 that crashed in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula on Oct. 31 shortly after takeoff, a U.S. government source said.

The FBI has offered “forensic assistance” and other unspecified services to both Russia and Egypt, said Joshua Campbell, an FBI spokesman.
