Meanwhile, British airlines were scrambling to evacuate passengers in Sharm el-Sheikh after cancelling flights to the Red Sea resort from which the doomed Airbus took off.

The flight data and voice recorders showed "everything was normal" until both failed at 24 minutes after takeoff from the Sharm el-Sheikh resort Saturday, pointing to "a very sudden explosive decompression," one source said.

So far, Russia has been bombing rebel groups other than ISIS and lying about it.

Russia and the US agree that the Islamic State (ISIS, or ISIL, or DAESH) needs to be defeated. That should be our top priority in the region. We and the Russians can argue about Assad later.
