I see no way they are going to put these men on a plane with explosives. Not. They are in better shape to gamble the 25 lives on the bus than to allow the terrorists to get on a plane and fly it into something - in Russia perhaps?

That's what they want to do! Not land it in Russia, but really land it in Russia. As in crashing it into something.

I wouldn't put it past them... If they really just wanted to "go home", they could have done it the way most people do, that is, buy a ticket!
