Was the EgyptAir crash an act of terrorism by the ISIS?

EgyptAir Flight MS804 has gone missing over the Mediterranean with 66 people on board and there are reports of a merchant ship captain having seen a 'flame in the sky'. Obviously, there are fears that it could be an act of terrorism. The head of France's internal intelligence agency had already warned that France was being 'clearly targeted' by ISIS - and the warning had come a week before the Paris to Cairo flight took off.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 19 May 2016.

An Egyptian civil aviation authority spokesman has revealed that the Airbus A320 with 15 French passengers and one Briton on board has most likely crashed into the sea. The cause of the disaster is not known but it has come seven months after a bomb blew up a Russian airliner over the Sinai desert - it killed all 224 people on board. ISIS has, subsequently, admitted that a soda can bomb had been used to bring down the Metrojet plane.
In this connection, the warnings of Patrick Calvar, the head of France's DGSI agency, are relevant. On 10 May, he had told a parliamentary committee on national defense in Paris that ISIS was planning 'a new form of attack'. France had been targeted twice last year. First it was the Charlie Hebdo attack in January and then the Paris attacks in November. The attack in November killed 130 people and were conducted by suicide bombers and jihadists armed with Kalashnikovs.
He said that a new form of attack was possible because ISIS had suffered military setbacks in Syria and Iraq and wanted to take revenge on members of the coalition, including France because France was behind the air strikes on ISIS targets.
