No one else found these "traces" except the Egyptians
Yes, I've read the BEA statement.
The pronouncements from various sources are contradictory, to say the least:
"A forensics official has said human remains retrieved from the area where EgyptAir flight 804 crashed point to an explosion on board.
The anonymous official is part of Egypt's investigative team and has examined victims' remains at a morgue in Cairo.
He told the Associated Press that all 80 body parts retrieved so far are small and that 'there isn't even a whole body part, like an arm or a head', adding: 'The logical explanation is that an explosion brought it down...but I cannot say what caused the blast.'
Egypt's al-Watan newspaper quoted another unnamed forensics official as saying the plane blew up in mid-air, leaving remains 'no larger than the size of a hand', but that it has yet to be determined whether an explosive device was to blame.
The head of Egypt's forensics authority denied there was evidence of an explosion later on Tuesday.
'Everything published about this matter is completely false, and mere assumptions that did not come from the forensics authority,' Dr Hisham Abdel Hamid said in a statement quoted by Mena news agency."
