It is no secret that the Saudis want Assad gone in order to install a Saudi-friendly regime. Their hope is that the "moderate" rebels/AQ/ISIS will overthrow Assad. Unfortunately, Russia finally stepped in to lend assistance to her ally providing a counter-terrorism campaign to the Saudi-backed terrorists.
In a nutshell, the Russians are hampering the efforts of the Saudis (and Americans) to topple Assad.
ISIS had immediately claimed that they shot the plane down. Now it is believed that a bomb brought the plane down. If ISIS did this, I would think they would know how they did it.
Moscow, acting as the actual “good guys”, have “ruined everything” for the Saudi-American alliance. Thus, the Saudis/Americans met the Russian actions with a desperate reply.
Was Metrojet Airbus A321-200 part of this response? I think so.
