Egypt's head of forensics and the Justice Ministry have denied reports that the initial investigation into last week's EgyptAir crash points to an explosion on board, Euronews reports.
The MENA state news agency quoted forensics chief Hesham Abdelhamid as saying theories of a blast occurring based on the size of human remains recovered were "completely false and mere assumptions."
"Everything published about this matter is completely false, and mere assumptions that did not come from the Forensics Authority," MENA published.
