eritrea is 50/50 muslim/christian. is, if you've been there, it's a security bastion. >> now you look at anybody who had access to the plane, and that could be thousands of people? >> at least hundreds. and, but there's no shortcut to this. >> right. you got to do the legwork. >> yeah. >> thank you. >> thank you. >>> all right, still ahead, we'll have more expert analysis as we continue our breaking news coverage of missing egyptair flight 804. stay with us.

the investigation into the flight shows the plane made stops in eritrea before heading to paris. the plane did undergo a security sweep before heading to cairo and they confirm it passed all maintenance checks before the flight. the weather in the area of flight path was clear and calm. u.s. officials suspect the plane was taken down by a bomb, though they stress this theory is circumstantial. >> we have seen a desire on the part of extremists around the world, including some extremists in the middle east to carry out attacks targeting the aviation system. we obviously are mindful of that and here in the united states, we experienced the pain of those aviation borne attacks firsthand. >> reporter: so far no claim of responsibility from any terrorist group for the downed plane. anguished family members arrived at the airport in cairo and paris to wait for word on their loved ones. 66 souls were on board, most french and egyptian citizens. among them three children. two were just infants. >> what happened to them is a deep interest beyond the countries directly involved, u.s. milit

cairo, brussels, tunis, eritrea. he says those are kind -- there are concerns there are weak links in those airports. with that flight bath before getting to paris, is the plane swept again? what are the security measures when a plane has five legs even just that day? >> it's a good question. we were talking with one of our cnn correspondents just that thing, and lf pplre probably familiar with coming from an international destination. >> exactly. >> into kennedy let's say for instance, close to home here, and you have to carry your bags to your -- through to customs again and then go on to your domestic destination. so did that happen there or was this particular country that the airplane was in, did it just get checked all the way through with a possible device? but once again, as you have been saying, rightfully so, we don't know. this is preliminary information. there could be other aspects involved with why this airplane suffered some sort of cass strofic failure. >> i want to bring in miles o'brien. miles, base

and then the plane spent a few hours in eritrea, and then the plane came to paris, before go to egypttigator in france are looking at three cities to see if some people have access to the plane, to put something aboard, that's the first thing. the second thing investigators are looking at the past of the pilots, they're seeing that the pilots are well-trained but really looking at history because they're saying it might have been a suicide mission. and then the third thing is they're looking very precisely at the passengers' list to see where the passengers inside the plane. they're looking at saudi citizen and also looking at the three security guards aboard the plane. they really want to understand why aboard this specific plane there were three safety guards. >> laura haim in paris, thank you very much for that. joined by kevin russo, who spent nearly two decades as a pilot for american airlines. when you hear this scenario, what do you think? >> sounds like, first of all, the pilots, doing any type of maneuver or trying to get out of somewhere like he said he did, either he's seei

security experts say at the airports in cairo, eritrea and tunisia, officials don't have tight control over the employees and workers are vulnerable to bribes or extortion. but the plane's final stop in charles de gaulle in paris is not air tight as well. since january of last year, 85 employees lost their security clearances because of alleged radicalization. u.s. officials say flight 804 had a security sweep at charles de gaulle before it is final takeoff but experts say that sweep may not have been able to detect a bomb the size of a soda can. >> it's almost impossible to do without the help of dogs or some technology. and i think the description of sweeps being performed, they are very superficial. >> reporter: tonight, more than 24 hours after the plane vanished, there's been no claim by isis or al qaeda or anybody else. relatives are vouching for the character of the pilots mohamed said shoukair and assem. >> they have to make sure that they were not particularly stressed. >> now, regarding the smoke alerts, the aviation industry tells cnn it was not aware of that acars informati

we know that eritrea is a deeply undemocratic and autocratic country that has done appalling things topeople and that is one reason why so many of those seeking to cross the mediterranean, normally through the libyan route, have come from that country. when i had the opportunity to meet the eritrean leadership, as i did at the conference in valletta, in malta, i made those points very strongly. sir david amess: four years ago, i asked my right honorable friend on behalf of my mother, maud, if the eu referendum vote could be brought forward because of her age. she was then 100. she now wishes to know if she needs to set a world record for longevity before the chilcot report is published. [laughter] prime minister cameron: i think that i can reassure maud that this summer she will have a double opportunity to deal with these things, a referendum on june 23 and the chilcot report, which, i am sure, will come not too much longer after that. mr. speaker: i rather imagine that she will then want a backbench business committee debate on the matter. mr. stephen kinnock. stephen kinnock: tata s

eritrea, several of these airports -- trish: what is your point on that? somebody could have done something to the plane, put something on the plane. >> to put it mildly. some. places where this airplane landed in the last few days do not have security that is up to the standard of western nations. so all of these things added together, the likelihood is very high right now, trish. trish: is there any significance to the fact that this plane went off the radar immediately after crossing into egyptian airspace? >> well, look, terrorism is about fear. the generation of fear in your target audience. we know that if this is a jihadi attack, france is a very important target for them. look at the multiple attacks in france in recent months. on top of that the destination city, cairo, egypt is on the front line of war with jihadis. president el-sisi has declared war on the granddaddy, muslim brotherhood and there is a large affiliate in the sinai, killing policemen, killing civilians. so egypt is one of the most important targets for jihadis right now. trish: if

according to flight tracking data, the plane stopped in cairo, tunisia, and eritrea on wednesday. jeffrey thomas is managing director at airlines ratings.com. he joins us again from australia. jeffrey, what about all of those stops? can a bomb be placed on an airplane and detonate hours and hours later? >> indeed, natalie, this is -- if it turns out to be a bomb, and we don't know that yet, we're simply looking at the level of security at airports, which is a very, very valid thing to do because as was mentioned just a few minutes ago, a small bomb was smuggled onboard that metrojet aircraft in october last year, which killed 224 people. now, cairo has tightened up security, but as was mentioned, a person got onboard with a fake explosive belt even though he was frisked. so you have to ask the question about the level of security and how seriously that's taken given the evidence that we saw. but when we talk about this particular flight, as you suggest, it took off. the first flight of the day was from eritrea to cairo, then two flights to tunisia before heading off to paris. now,

the other detail, the aircraft has made five flights that day, including flights to eritrea and there were several stops to meddle with the plane in some ne nefarious way. >> it made five flights? >> yeah, and the earlier flights included to eritrea, and if there had been foul play, one can't help but make the conclusion there were probably many opportunities to mettle with the plane in nefarious way. and in places where the security is not as high as it is in the united states. >> that is an interesting point. thank you for the information. who do we go to next? greg fithe, i want to stay on the point that michael was talking about. the flight was the last of day. it made five previous flights, one going to tunisia. does it provide any clues, perk your ears and make you question as michael was alluding to, make something could have happened in the flights and placed upon the plane? >> as an investigator, they would be looking at all of the exposure of the aircraft on its day of flying. this is its fifth and final flight. they will look at who touched the airport as far as ground serv

he said, he was suggesting that maybe it went on at eritrea, main tunis. bomber married up with it in paris. walked on clean. all he has to know is how to set the bomb off. >> deon theati atdetonation has specified time. >>> not surprising there's political reaction to this. donald trump and hillary clinton both are assuming this is terrorism. we'll talk about that after the break. one coat, yes! ♪ there is a day, for every number. ♪ ♪ there is a time, for all my slumbers. ♪ one coat guaranteed marquee interior. behr's most advanced paint. get the best paint for any budget and save 10 or 40 bucks. only at the home depot. they keep telling me "drink more war."

it is places likes eritrea as well. these include airports that do not have, simply do not have the level of security when it comes to the vetting of ground staff that we have in other western airports. even in western airports we have problems. look at the fact that we recently had a case in the united states of an individual who went to fly, went to fight with isis who is from minnesota and he used to work at an airport in minnesota cleaning the air frames. so this is, this is the black hole. deirdre: i'm glad you mentioned that, sebastian. i rather that too. leading some to speculate this is truly inside job. >> yes, this is huge issue. we have all kind of federal intelligence vetting services and centers that go through the manifests of passengers in the united states or passengers on international commercial vessels coming to the united states from oconas outside the continental united states but we don't have the visibility on staff who have access to planes on the ground in the airports around the world. we know

in the 24 hours before the crash, the jet had flown from eritrea to egypt, then to tunisia and back to cairo, then on to paris. investigators are running background checks on every passenger and scrutinizing anyone who had access to the plane. >> is there anybody on that flight with a link to a terrorist organization? number one. and number 2, are there any conversations that are going on right now within terrorist organizations non-public conversations where they are congratulating each other? >> reporter: terrorism is the leading theory but there's no evidence to explain the crash. this headline in cairo reads, the secret of the airbus is in the bottom of the sea. tina kraus, cbs news, london. >> the uk, france, greece and italy are all helping in the search effort. >>> the sole surviving suspect link to the paris terror attacks refused to speak to judges today. salah abdeslam was set for questioning in his first court appearance. but has lawyers said that abdeslam was invoking his right to silence. he is charged with terror offense. 130 people were killed in the november attack in p

eritrea. what do we know about those places with regards to airport security? what do we know about that part of the world? >> we know that tunisia has a much smaller airport, and security there, there are no direct flights from tunisia to the united states. there are flights from tunisia to europe. there is some standard, international standard that tunisia must abide by. but is there a vulnerability in all of these smaller airports in some of these countries? many that rely on conscripts for security at some of these access points around the airports. t the answer to that is yes. and tunisia has experienced some terrorist attacks. they have a robust presence of militant groups in libya that have made it their point to try and carry out attacks and infiltrate attacks in tunisia. we're getting way ahead of ourselves to say there's a connection between tunisia and this particular incident but the climate of that country gives you the sense if the plane spent some time or a few hours on the ground in tunisia as it may have here in egypt and in ertreitrea those ar

it was in eritrea, and in tunisia and in egypt itself before arriving at charles de gaulle, so questionsf there were security implications for the aircraft and whether this was in fact a terror incident. certainly from the egyptians themselves, the civil aviation administrator saying this is indeed maybe terror. so some big questions concerning what actually happened to flight 804. we'll continue to follow them from here in paris. guys? >> thank you. cnbc's hadley gamble from paris. >>> let's get a check on your weather now with nbc meteorologist bill karins. what say you about the weekend? >> nothing too violent, sunday, some storms in the central plains. this morning though, we had the really nasty line of ostorm, thousands of lightning strikes headed from new orleans overnight and now knocking on the door around panama city. that will blow by in the next half hour. wait until that blows by until you head out in northern portions of florida. as far as the rain today, areas of southern georgia, alabama, even mississippi, on and off showers and storms. by 5:00 p.m., we're concentrating o

flight tracking data shows that uniting 804 was both in eritrea and tunisia earlier wednesday beforeomas editor in chief at airlinerating.com joins us live. jeffrey, it's good to have you with us. i'd like to start by talking about four different scenarios that investigators are looking into. the first, a smuggled bomb, the idea of terrorism. what are your thoughts? is that possible? >> if it is a bomb, we simply don't know that yet, and the u.s. believes that terrorism is involved likely in that scenario, yes, it could well and easily -- more easily, i should say, been smugged on some of the earlier stops this plane made. eritrea, tunis and tunisia, it stopped twice there before going back to cairo and charles de gaulle. i think it would be more difficult to smuggle a device on at charles de gaulle so there's a body of opinion suggests that some area placement of such a device if that turns out to be what happened is possibly more likely. >> so you talk about the second scenario, the idea that someone on the ground at charles de gaulle could also have been involved. let's talk about

it had flown to eritrea on tuesday. hout sir a crash investigator. >> if it turns out that this is a bomb, yes, you have to look at the whole security for all the flight. where the aircraft came from. what kind of bomb was it. >> reporter: hours after the jet disappears, relatives gathering at airports, learning the grim news that no one survived. the french and the british have sent investigators to cairo. the egyptians are still running the investigation, which will be long and expensive. and some u.s. experts worry whether egypt sup is up to the . >> let's get more from our aviation expert stephen ganyard. >> this is key. this will help narrow down the search area. they'll be listening for the metallic pinger powered by the battery. we have 30 days to find the >> let's run through the theories. u.s. officials say that they didn't -- our satellites have not picked up any heat signature of a possible explosion. >> it's a little bit strange that they didn't. on the other hand, if you think of the metrojet. the russian a

after flight 804 made stops in tunisia and eritrea, it was searched in paris. >> egypt tries to do thet job that it can in combatting terrorism. we have our hands full. but a country like france with far more resources like we do, they weren't able to catch this. this is a big job and we all have to do it together. >> reporter: this could validate claims that the crackdown is in the same of security. >> the government can say, look, we are vulnerable and we need to ensure that not only our citizens are safe but that foreign visitors and others on planes are safe. >> reporter: and if it was brought down by terrorism, it will be a devastating blow to egypt's tourist economy which suffered a 40% loss after the metrojet attack. they had plans to revive the tourism industry but with this it will raise questions about future air travel to egypt. >> tremendous costs on all sides, no question. >>> the early assumption by u.s. officials is that this was an act of terrorism. i want to bring in cnn evan perez, cnn peter bettrgen and michael weiss. gentlemen, we're getting new information now and

and it was in north africa, flying to eritrea and tunis. so we have to look at that and figure out did something happen in those countries. you heard the senator intel chair, senator burr looking at those lists to see if anybody matches up. here's the former c.i.a. director on the possibilities out there. >> if you're a terrorist hangars and maintenance facilities are very attractive places, because you can put a small bomb in some portion of the hull, that if you know what you're doing, were to put it. you could well have something that would go off at an appropriate altitude, appropriate time and no fingerprints. >> the tough part, tucker is that this is all speculation. until we have black box data, we hear that the satellite infrared satellites didn't pick up any heat signature. but there are reports that some fishermen saw flash in the sky. >> we will know at some point. we do know there are going to be terror attacks on airplanes, the only way to respond is with common sense measures, you don't unionize your security guards at the air

before that in the 24 hours ahead of the crash, it had made stops in tunisia and also down here in eritrea. those airports are not in the developing world, those airports are not necessarily as sophisticated in terms of their security capabilities as they would be up here at paris, charles de gaulle airport but there are questions about paris as well. in the wake of the trend for attacks in paris it turned out a number of airport employees had been on terror watch lists so the french authorities have been trying to purge possible terrorist sympathizers from the ranks of those working here at charles de gaulle airport in france. it's one of the many questions that authorities will be looking at as they piece together the puzzle of what happened to flight 804. let's bring in doctor alan diehl, a former national certification safety board faa and u.s. air force crash investigator, also the author of air safety investigators. doctor deal, it's good to have your expertise. where do you start in a situation like this? john, we always start looking at all possibilities and there are four categori

eritrea, cairo, tunisia, back to cairo and then paris.so would the planes be checked at every stop or would they just land and other passengers get on and off? >> at the very least the crew would go out and do the walk around most likely. the co-pilot would do his walk around inspection and make sure everything was attached and standard stuff that we do on walk arounds. maintenance sat each one of thoe stations may have very well done the same things. we're talking charles de gaulle airport. this is a very sophisticated security setup situation. i'm not saying things can't get by, but especially in light of the paris attacks, we're not talking an airport with average security. we're talking an airport with very, very good security. >> mary, would you agree with that? >> well, yes and no. i mean, it depends on what part of the security you're looking at. if you're looking at the security that's, you know, screening passengers, and by the way airlines can do their own individual additional security. we all know about the el al additional se

one of the countries thegypt in the 24 hours before the crash, eritrea, it was quite near somalia. you're looking at where the plane was in the 24 hours before the attack. i think from counterterrorism point of view, the bigger vulnerability in places like eritrea, in the 24 hours before the incident, rather than in paris, where there is much tighter security, very strict protocols for people working at the airport, but not so much strict protocols in the middle east and africa. that is the achille's heel right now in terms of bringing in state-of-the-art technology, training, and these protocols to protect against the insider. >> you understand the complication and the breadth of this investigation. paul, thanks for being with us, still to come, comin'ing for clues beneath the surface. as they hunt for the wreckage of egyptair flight 804. fight heartburn fast. with tums chewy delights. the mouthwatering soft chew that goes to work in seconds to conquer heartburn fast. tum tum tum tum. chewy delights. only from tums. >>> good morning, everyone. john berman, in for carol costello. t

it has flown as far as eritrea, done quite a few trips and this 24 hour period. is that normal? mark: well, it is. we are looking at a typical flight going around, and i would be concerned if the aircraft, in one of the airfields, which it did not, and they obviously have the chart security back over, the air force in egypt, i'm not really concerned. i don't think that brings up a doubt. but again, we need to focus and rule that out with the investigation process. but all in all, i think this just boils down to something more link to operational and technical, as opposed to looking at a third-party. there have been lots of reports coming out on terror, you know, being the angle coming in. but i think if you actually look at what caused the fire. ceo from newarton, delhi, thank you for joining us. with the very latest there. today,s of this show bloomberg markets middle east, we are going to be focused on the all states that have foreign capital. we understand saudi arabia will come to the bottom market. all of that to play for on bloomberg markets middle east. and after this ver
