WASHINGTON - Communications between Islamic State leaders in Raqqa, Syria, and persons in the Sinai Peninsula included boasts about the downing of a Russian passenger jet over the area, NBC reported on Friday, citing unidentified US officials.

"They were clearly celebrating," NBC Nightly News quoted a US official as saying. The "chatter" included a boast of taking down the plane on Saturday and how it was done.

The US intelligence community intercepted a message from a Sinai group affiliated with Islamic State that warned of "something big in the area" before jet crash.
