Russian PM sees possible 'terror' link

But Egyptian foreign minister says its too early to form 'hypothesis' on disaster that killed 224

Moscow acknowledged for the first time on Monday that a terrorist attack could have caused last month's Russian plane crash in Egypt, as thousands more tourists were evacuated from the country.

Britain and the United States suspect a bomb exploded on board the Metrojet A321 plane, but Egyptian officials insist there is no evidence yet of an attack on the aircraft that jihadists claim to have downed.
