Lt. Gen. Sergei Bainetov said Thursday that "we have come to conclusion that there was no explosion on board." He stopped short though of immediately ruling out a terror attack, saying that "we aren't rejecting that version yet." Bainetov who heads the military commission investigating Sunday's crash that killed all 92 on board, said a terror attack may not necessarily involve an explosion and that several factors might have contributed to the crash. Bainetov said that flights of the military's Tu-154s have been suspended during the investigation but said they will likely resume after the investigation is over.   Share the latest business news with your network:    Email sent to:   |   Manage your email preferences   |   Unsubscribe Terms of Service   |   Privacy Policy Business Insider. 150 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10011
