The radio "DR" that the Danish citizen Basil Hassan was involved in the bombing of the Russian A321 aircraft in the skies of the Sinai Peninsula in 2015.

Al-Khayyat, who is linked to the Islamic State, said during his confessions to Australian police that his brother Tariq and Basil Hassan were behind the failed attack.
