Egyptian experts to examine black boxes of crashed Russian jet

Examination of the two black box flight recorders from the Russian airliner that crashed killing all 224 people on board on Saturday in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula would start on Tuesday, as President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi warned the probe would take time.

Sisi described a claim by the Egyptian branch of the Islamic State jihadist group to have downed the jet as "propaganda".

The search for the aircraft's wreckage and bodies are on going.
