		</div><p>Human remains retrieved from the crash site of the EgyptAir Flight 804 suggest there was an explosion on board that may have brought down the aircraft, a senior Egyptian forensic official has said.</p>
<p>The official is part of the Egyptian investigative team and has personally examined the remains in Cairo.</p>
<p>He said all 80 pieces brought to Cairo so far are small and that &#8220;there isn&#8217;t even a whole body part, like an arm or a head&#8221;.</p>
<p>The official added that &#8220;the logical explanation is that it was an explosion&#8221;.</p>
<p>All 66 people on board were killed when the Airbus 320 crashed in the Mediterranean early on Thursday while en route from Paris to Cairo.</p>
<p>The official said: &#8220;The logical explanation is that an explosion brought it down. But I cannot say what caused the blast.&#8221;</p>
<p>Egyptian authorities have said they believe terrorism is a more likely explanation than equipment failure, and some aviation experts have said the erratic flight reported by the Greek defence minister suggests a bomb blast or a struggle in the cockpit.</p>
<p>But so far no hard evidence has emerged.</p>
<p>An independent Cairo newspaper, al-Watan, quoted an unnamed forensics official as saying the plane blew up in mid-air but that it has yet to be determined whether the blast was caused by an explosive device or something else.</p>
<p>The official said the remains retrieved so far are &#8220;no larger than the size of a hand&#8221;.</p>
<p>France&#8217;s aviation accident investigation agency would not comment on anything involving the bodies or say whether any information has surfaced in the investigation to indicate an explosion.</p>
<p>In a search for clues, family members of the victims arrived today at the Cairo morgue forensics&#8217; department to give DNA samples to help identify the remains of their kin, a security official said.</p>
<p>Egypt has dispatched a submarine to search for the flight&#8217;s black boxes and a French ship joined the international effort to locate the wreckage and search for the plane&#8217;s data recorders.</p>
<p>Ships and planes from Britain, Cyprus, France, Greece and the United States are also taking part in the search for the debris from the aircraft, including the black boxes.</p>
