Cameron and Sisi due to hold talks a day after UK halts all flights to Sharm el-Sheikh


British Prime Minister David Cameron will hold talks with Egyptian President  Abdel Fattah al-Sisi Thursday at Downing Street, just a day after the UK halted all flights into the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh amid security concerns. 

British officials now say there is a "significant possibility" that an explosive device brought down the Russian Metrojet plane that crashed in the Sinai on Saturday, killing all 224 people on board.  From London, Catherine Drew reports.

UK government suspends flights to Sharm el-Sheikh, says bomb is "significant possibility" in downing of Russian plane

Britain's Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond says the UK government now think's there is a "significant possibility" that an explosive device brought down the Russian Metrojet plane that crashed in Egypt's Sinai peninsular on Saturday, killing all 224 people on board.

 Mr Hammond said Britons were being advised not to travel through Egypt's Sharm el-Sheikh airport.  It comes amid concerns lax security could have enabled a bomb to have been placed on the doomed Russian flight. 

Earlier Wednesday all British flights to and from the Red Sea resort were suspended. Irish authorities also put all flights to Sharm on hold.  

Reports from the US say intelligence sources there also believe a bomb brought down the Russian Airbus 321.  

Mr Hammond spoke after a top level security meeting in Downing Street chaired by Prime Minister David Cameron.
