BREAKING NEWS: Russian Plane Crash: ISIS Release Picture of 'Schweppes Drinks Can Bomb Used in Attack'

Islamic State claims this picture reveals the bomb which brought down the Russian jetliner killing 224 people - disguised as a drinks can.

The image appeared in the latest edition of the extremists' magazine Dabiq.

The edition celebrates the recent Paris attacks and is entitled 'Just Terror'.

The magazine also claims to have images of passports belonging to victims who perished after the Metrojet flight exploded over Sinai.

It disintegrated in mid-air 23 minutes after taking off from popular tourist resort Sharm El-Sheikh in Egypt for St Petersburg on October 31.

Islamic State also said it had originally planned to bring down a 'Western' plane over Egypt's Sinai but changed its target to a Russian one after Moscow launched airstrikes in Syria.

An editorial claimed the Russian jet bombing and Paris terror attacks were "revenge exacted upon those who felt safe in the cockpits of their jets."

ISIS said it had smuggled the bomb onto the Russian plane after finding a security loophole at Sharm al-Sheikh airport.

Russian investigators said yesterday they were certain a 'homemade bomb' was responsible for the crash.

President Putin vowed to find the perpetrators and offered a £30million reward for information leading to their capture.

Reports in the Russian media today suggested the bomb was smuggled into the main cabin of the plane.

Sources close to the investigation suggested innocent passengers were potentially sat just metres away from the explosive when it went off.

It was originally reported that the bomb had been stored in the plane's cargo compartment.

It was claimed preliminary conclusions were that the bomb could have been laid under the passenger seat by the window.

In a harrowing reconstruction video published online, the MetroJet plane is shown travelling through the air before the tail end is suddenly blown off.

Parts of the plane begin to break away before it quickly nosedives and hits the ground.

All 224 people on board were killed.

Islamic State (IS) has claimed responsibility for bringing the Russian plane down in written statements, as well as video and audio messages posted on the internet following the crash.
