US Department of State spokesperson Eric Toner said the United States has not accepted the Russian government’s conclusion that the Metrojet crash in the Sinai Peninsula was a terrorist act and has yet to make its own conclusion.
Who the heck is Sputnik News? And why are they the only ones reporting this? Could it be because it isn't true, as PAX_Britannica has already pointed out? In fact, I cannot find any other reference to an "Eric Toner" connected to the US Department of State, except on this web site. Does he even exist?
