Cairo (AFP) - President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said Sunday no theory was being favoured on why EgyptAir MS804 plunged into the Mediterranean and that Egypt was using a submarine to locate the black boxes.
The Airbus A320 carrying 66 people had crashed into the sea while flying from Paris to Cairo early Thursday, and some wreckage but not the black boxes has been found.
Egypt's
aviation minister had said that terrorism was more likely than
technical failure, but Sisi said in a televised address that "all the
theories are possible".
"There is no particular theory we can affirm right now," he said.
Sisi
said a submarine that could operate at a depth of 3,000 metres (9,800
feet) under sea level had been deployed on Sunday to search for the
black boxes.
"This
(submarine) moved today in the direction of the plane crash because we
are working hard to retrieve the two boxes, which are the black boxes,"
he said.
A
civil aviation official told AFP on Sunday that search teams had found
none of the passengers' bodies, as the search continues.
