Agree, much of the truth is probably known. Here’s an article from a source recommended by one of the comments on the WSJ article that tells about passengers on the plane and why they were valuable to Chinese technology interests and other countries’ too. IOW, a hijacker wanted the talent. Possibly, possibly not. It would take a lot of organizing and personal information to coordinate stealing a planeload of valuable techies.
I would be more inclined to believe Iran is the one that has stolen the plane and mostly for a combination of using the tech skilled passengers, AND the use of possibly turning this plane into a nuclear launch platform.
Against Israel.
many people just cannot comprehend the hate Iran has against Israel.
