The pilot who stole this plane and murdered all on board wanted one of two things:
1.) Cargo (gold)
2.) The aircraft itself
If it’s the aircraft, it could only be used for terrorism. Packed with explosives and sent off to do its worst.
I hope Israel has its eyes on the Dimona nuclear facility. It is the closest high value western target to where this plane was headed.
The more I think about it, the less likely I find the gold theory. If a pilot stole tons of gold, he would never get to enjoy his riches.
This pilot was a very religious and devout Muslim, so he could have been persuaded to put this jet in the hands of some really bad folks. We will find out soon enough - I hope that the military defense folks are thinking about this scenario.
Whoever did this already stole a 250million dollar aircraft and murdered all of its passengers. That person is an expert pilot and a Muslim. I do not think that this mass murder was the end game as he could have simply plunged into the sea if that was his plan. This aircraft flew somewhere for 7 hours.

You mean the pilot who on his youtube channel was a big fan of the militant atheist Richard Dawkins and especially liked Dawkins’ The God Delusion?
“The Root of All Evil, later retitled The God Delusion, is a television documentary written and presented by Richard Dawkins in which he argues that humanity would be better off without religion or belief in God.”
Which pilot? I’ve always thought the younger pilot was involved, but not the older one.
Could’ve led to a cockpit struggle, causing erratic movement of the plane for a while.
