Islamic State published a picture of the bomb it said was used to down a Russian plane which crashed over the Sinai Peninsula last month, killing all 224 passengers on board.

The image was shown in the latest online issue of Dabiq, the Islamic State’s magazine. The bomb, hidden in a soft-drink can, was smuggled onto the plane after the group breached security at Sharm El-Sheikh airport, Islamic State said. The information couldn’t be independently verified.

Islamic State said Russia was chosen as a target in retaliation for its intervention against militants in Syria, which began in September. “This was to show the Russians and whoever allies with them that they will have no safety in the lands and airspace of the Muslims,” the magazine article read.

The Sinai bombing, together with last week’s attacks in Paris, have pushed Russia and Western nations toward joint action in Syria, overcoming a history of disagreement over who to support in the civil war.

Putin’s Vow

IS’s affiliate in Egypt had claimed downing the plane without specifying how it did so, while Egyptian authorities haven’t officially made an announcement on the causes of the crash. Russian President Vladimir Putin confirmed this week that the plane was brought down by a bomb. He vowed to step up attacks on jihadists in Syria, where Russia’s air force has been backing President Bashar al-Assad’s army.

The group also published a photo of what it claimed are passports belonging to plane passengers. Islamic State said it had initially planned to target planes from countries participating in the U.S.-led coalition which has been bombing jihadist targets in Syria and Iraq since last year, but switched to the Russian jet instead.

The plane crash led Russia and the U.K to evacuate their citizens from Egypt, hitting the country’s tourism sector, a major source of foreign currency that the North African country banked on to revive its economy. The IS affiliate in Sinai has stepped up its campaign against Egyptian authorities, killing hundreds of security personnel, since the 2013 military-led ouster of Islamist President Mohamed Mursi.
