Islamic State group ‘show off’ bomb used on Russian aircraft that killed 224 people

The Islamic State group has released a photo of the bomb it says was used to bring down a Russian passenger plane in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula last month, killing all 224 people on board.

The picture was published in the latest issue of the extremist group’s English-language magazine, with the caption ‘Exclusive, Image of the IED used to bring down the Russian airliner.’

The picture showed a yellow can of Schweppes Gold soda and what appeared to be other bomb components.
