It is good to see Russia's everlasting dedication to the punishment of those responsible for destroying civil airplanes.

Bomb that downed Russian plane in Egypt placed in main cabin: report
http://news.yahoo.com/bomb-downed-russian-plane-egypt-placed-main-cabin-100839080--sector.html

MOSCOW (Reuters) - A bomb that downed a Russian plane in Egypt last month had been placed in the aircraft's main cabin not in the cargo compartment as reported earlier, the daily Kommersant said on Wednesday citing an unnamed source.

The newspaper, citing a source close to the investigation of the crash, said the epicentre of the explosion appeared to have been at the rear of the cabin near the tail section.
Ostensibly, this is corroborated by residue in the vicinity. This revelation would be consistent with the tail section being separated from the rest of the plane.
