This theory has been debunked on an aviation web site I visit.

I posted some stuff on this the day it happened, here.

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) lists the airline as being "Union Transports Africains de Guinee" in Guinea. But another ICAO listing shows it being registered in Indonesia. Wierd.

However, all the news sources I've found confirm the Lebanese-Guinean ownership, nothing mentioned about Indonesia.

Aside from that, this plane and the "missing" plane had separate registrations. However it is odd (coincidental?) that the missing plane was last spotted at the Conackry airport in Guinea, which is where the crashed plane originated.

The missing plane was purchased from American Airlines by the extremely shadowy Aerospace Sales & Leasing of Florida. I can't determined who purchased this specific plane from American Airlines, and the fact that it was run by UTA doesn't actually mean that UTA owned it, it could be leased from the actual owner. It's all very ambiguous.

In any case there's no reason to believe that this is the "missing" plane, although there are many strange and unanswered questions about both.

Thousands of Lebanese expatriates in Africa provide the upkeep for relatives at home

Here's how badly it sucks in Lebanon: people go from there to Benin to find a job.
