Obama: 'Possibility' Russian Plane was Downed by Terrorists

Well after the British strongly suggested that the Russian plane that crashed in in Egypt had a bomb, President Barack Obama said it's a possibility.

“I think there is a possibility that there was a bomb on board and we’re taking that very seriously," Obama said in an interview with Seattle-based KIRO Radio.

The Islamic State’s affiliate in Egypt has repeatedly claimed credit for the crash.
