The original flight heading to china, change in flight direction seems like they headed for Burma.

The flight path in the article has them heading on a new course southwest, not in the direction of Burma.

If we extrapolate a direct path to their target, the terrorists' plan may have been to use the aircraft to attack Diego Garcia.
