British passengers are being repatriated from Sharm el-Sheikh without their hold bags due to a "significant possibility" of an explosive device causing the recent plane crash.
British passengers are being repatriated from Sharm el-Sheikh following a halt of all flights to Britain due to a "significant possibility" of an explosive device causing the Russian plane crash at the weekend.
