Tatars from Crimea would still count as Ukrainians, an interesting aspect, since a big AQ warlord from one of the ‘Stans recently offered to “help” them. However, unless they were for some reason working with Uighers to attack the Chinese (most of the passengers on the plane, I believe, were Chinese), I can’t see why they’d be involved in this.
I wonder if they were also supposedly headed on to Europe, like the other two verified false passports?
It’s also hard for me to understand why jihadis would waste 4 terrorists on taking down an airliner. The 9/11 terrorists had other objectives and were just using the planes as weapons. But going down in the sea or the mountains of Vietnam doesn’t seem very productive from a terrorism point of view.

Well, Richard Reed was gonna try it. Hope they get to the bottom of this.
But going down in the sea or the mountains of Vietnam doesn’t seem very productive from a terrorism point of view.
And no one has claimed responsibility.
