A team of the central office of the Investigative Committee has examined a surface layout of the A321 plane wreckage at the Cairo airport.

During the examination the investigators identified and registered the places where the blast ripped through the fuselage as well as the areas of subsequent damage. The results of the examination have been given to a commission of experts who are now running comprehensive forensic inquiry to establish the details of the crime.
