'No theory yet' says Egypt's foreign minister regarding plane crash

Egypt's foreign minister Sameh Shoukry has said that no theory has yet emerged from the investigation into the Sinai plane disaster.

Mr Shoukry told a press conference he wasn't ruling out any possible causes, but he is insisting no firm theory has yet been established.

That is despite reports that an explosion was heard on the voice recorder of the Russian passenger plane which crashed a week ago.

Meanwhile, US officials have said they have intercepted messages between Islamic State militants boasting about bringing down the jet with 224 people on board.

But Egypt has said that intelligence and other information has not been shared with their security services.

Thousands of holidaymakers remain stranded in Sharm el-Sheikh.

Russia has cancelled all flights to Egypt.
