The French investigation team assigned to detect reasons behind the crash of EgyptAir flight MS804 claimed it has found traces of TNT (trinitrotoluene) in the aeroplane’s debris. Following the discovery of TNT, the Egyptian investigation team prohibited its French counterparts from continuing its detailed check of the debris, French newspaper Le Figaro reported on Friday. The flight had disappeared from the Egyptian and Greek radars with no distress signal emitted from the plane. Le Figaro asserted in its report that investigators from the French Criminal Investigative Institute found traces of TNT in the debris of the crashed aeroplane last week. The newspaper said that the TNT discovery led to a dispute between Egyptian and French authorities.
