Egypt's Civil Aviation Minister Hossam Kamal has said the joint investigation committee probing the Russian plane crash last weekend will start examining the data from the black boxes retrieved from the crash site in the Sinai Peninsula.
Kamal says the committee - which includes Egyptian and Russian experts as well as representatives from Ireland, where the Metrojet's Airbus A321-200 was registered - will conclude its last field inspection at the crash site by the end of the day Tuesday and start working on the black boxes.
Kamal says it "will take some time" to produce the final report and that the committee "has all the tools and experts to deal with the investigation."
