1 KILO OF TNT PLACED IN LUGGAGE
SAYS RUSSIAS FEDERAL SECURITY SERVICES
"According to our experts, a homemade explosive device equivalent to 1 kilogram (approx. 1.6 pounds) of TNT went off onboard, which caused the plane to break up in the air. This explains why the fuselage was scattered over such a large territory. I can certainly say that this was a terrorist act," the head of Russia's Federal Security Service told the emergency meeting of the Russian Security Council.
