224 people on board. Both u. S. And british Officials Say intelligence suggests that isis or one of its affiliates planted a bomb on board that plane and that terrorists may have had inside help at the egyptian airport. Russia and egypt are pushing back saying there is no hard evidence as of now to support those suspicions. U. S. Government sources tell us that isis chatter after the crash is fortifying the belief that it was indeed a bomb. The isis affiliate in the sinai where the plane crashed repeats its claims of responsibility and taunts its doubter, die with your rage. The United Kingdom is spending all flights in and out of Sharm El Sheikh airport where that doomed flight had left just some 20 minutes before the crash. That strands some 3500 brits due to fly out just today. Britains Prime Minister spoke a short time ago. But we begin in Sharm El Sheikh with ian lee. Hi.

And the authorities will provide details of what happened at the Umpqua Community college in rosebu roseburg, oregon, that left nine dead and nine injured. At least two of the nine injured are critical. The gunmans ram page began in sni snyder hall on the southeast end of the campus, and from there he went to the science building. The shooter was killed there, and it is not clear whether he was shot by police or committed suicide. Witnesses say at one point the shooter started to singling out christians, and this is what the father of one wounded student told cnn. Are you a christian, he would ask them, and if you are a christian, stand up, and they would stand up, and he would say, good, because you are a christian, you are going to be seeing god in just about one second, and then he shot and killed them, and then he kept going up and down the line doing this to people. And more on the investigation into the campus massacre, and the latest on the victims of ana cabrera outside of the
Officials, it is highly likely that a bomb plant by isis or one of its affiliates destroyed that russian jet over the Sinai Peninsula. Intelligence suggests the bombers may have received assistance from inside the airport, but russian and egyptian officials reject those theories. They say theyre speculative, premature, they urge caution. They say theres no evidence to support any conclusions. Britain is taking no chances, though. It has suspended all flights in and out of Sharm El Sheikh airport where, of course, the doomed flight originated.

What more is carson saying . Well, fred, ben carson is disputing the notion of media is despite recent days fears and push back from the media reports. Thats something that he repeated here again today, launching into an angry and at times mocking critique of the media. I asked him earlier today why not produce some of the evidence that were asking for to back up many of these accounts, what is really in large part prompting a large part of these questions. Asked.

Learned . We first told you about the attacks that marquez and farook wanted to do something in 2012. Now we are learning how disturbing the plots were. Syed farook and his friend Enrique Marquez planned to use pipe bombs for an attack at Riverside Community college where they were students, targeting the library and cafeteria area. They wanted to maximize casualties and they planned to start this attack by throwing pipe bombs into the cafeteria from an elevated position on the second floor and they planned a rush hour attack on a major highway where they would throw pipe bombs into cars and shoot into the stopped cars and kill people.
