IS Sinai Jet Claims Propaganda

Egyptian President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi has described claims that militants linked to Islamic State (IS) brought down a Russian airliner as "propaganda," BBC reports.

"When there is propaganda that it crashed because of Isis (IS), this is one way to damage the stability and security of Egypt and the image of Egypt. Believe me, the situation in Sinai - especially in this limited area - is under our full control."

In addition, president Sisi  warned against jumping to conclusions: "All those interested in the matter are welcome to participate in the investigation.

Previously, the IS affiliate known as Sinai Province issued a written statement and an audio message saying that it brought down the passenger jet.
