France is not planning to evacuate its citizens from the Sinai peninsula in Egypt, French Foreign Ministry spokesman Romain Nadal said Thursday. "According to our information, there is a very limited number of French citizens on the Sinai peninsula. French tour operators have no tourist groups in this area," Nadal told reporters. Egypt's Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry has already criticized London's decision to suspend air traffic, labeling the move premature. On October 31, an Airbus A321 operated by Russian airline Kogalymavia, crashed in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula. All 224 people on board were killed in what has become the largest civil aviation disaster in Russian and Soviet history.
