His assessment was backed up by the head of the Egyptian Forensic Medicine Authority.

Dr Hesham Abdel-Hamid told MailOnline the body parts recovered from the Mediterranean had injuries consistent with an explosion.

He said: ‘Analysis of the remains of the victims flight MS804 indicated there was an explosion on the plane.

‘The remains had been ripped apart because of a bomb. However we have not found any bomb fragments as yet.’

More than 20 body bags containing part of corpses have been taken to the Zenhom morgue as part of the investigation.
