Ban Ki-moon: crash of Russian airliner must be thoroughly investigated

The UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon considers it necessary to investigate thoroughly the plane crash of the Russian Airbus A321 today in the north of the Sinai Peninsula. He said this at a press conference in Geneva, commenting on the version that the plane was shot down by terrorists.

"I have seen the statement that the responsibility for this is with ISIS. Whoever did it, it is an absolutely unacceptable crime. And I do condemn in the hardest way such a brutal crime committed against these airlines and so many passengers," RIA Novosti quotes him as saying.
