By Leo Hohmann. The fate of EgyptAir Flight MS-804 has once again thrown the media spotlight on Paris, France, where the plane took off for Cairo before going down over the Mediterranean Sea.

The airliner, only 13 years old, was cruising at high altitude in good weather conditions when it suddenly went down. There was no call of distress.

While much of the media has focused on Paris as the location where a terrorist could have loaded a bomb onto the plane, an expert of Egyptian politics and the Muslim Brotherhood says look again at Cairo . . .

It only sat on the ground in Paris for an hour, said Dr. Mark Christian, founder and president of the Global Faith Institute, an Omaha-Nebraska-based think tank that focuses on Islamic terrorism.

Christian, who grew up in Egypt the son of a Muslim Brotherhood member and became a child imam by the age of 14, says the Brotherhood has the most to gain from a terror attack on EgyptAir and has been active in a string of terror attacks recently in the country.

EgyptAir Flight 804: Airline Official Says Debris Not From Plane

By Michael Pearson, Faith Karimi, Ian Lee and Steve Almasy. The search for EgyptAir Flight 804 is continuing after reports that the plane’s wreckage had been found turned out to be false.

When searchers got close to debris found in the Mediterranean Sea they realized it didn’t come from the missing airliner, EgyptAir’s Vice Chairman Ahmed Adel told CNN.

The Airbus A320, which had 66 people on board, disappeared early Thursday as it flew from Paris to Cairo. Earlier, Adel told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour that the plane’s wreckage had been found.

“We stand corrected on finding the wreckage because what we identified is not a part of our plane. So the search and rescue is still going on,” Adel told CNN’s “The Lead with Jake Tapper.” (Read more from “EgyptAir Flight 804: Airline Official Says Debris Not From Plane” HERE)
