However, the source said the closest parallels were the explosion on board an Air India jetliner in 1985 when it was over the Atlantic Ocean and the Lockerbie air disaster in 1988. Both planes were cruising at around 31,000 feet when bombs exploded on board......................I'll go with something like this...or a Chinese missile.

The airliner’s passengers were mostly Chinese. Since China has been targeted by Muslim terrorists lately, why not rethink you statement.

I doubt it was brought down by a Chinese missile. More likely, a bomb carried on board by a Muslim suicide bomber.

Results don’t compare with the Russian passenger jet shot down by the Ukrainians. There, in addition to the mid-air explosion, there was a secondary explosion and fire when it hit the Black Sea. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/539552/posts
