I have always been exceedingly suspicious about that "accident" where a missile, said to be off-course, hit an El Al plane over Russia. Not long after Sept 11.

Wasn't an El Al plane, but rather a charter airline (don't recall the name). Think it was actually Russian flag, but could have been Israeli.

As far as I can recall, that was a Russian airliner that was flying out of Israel, but your point stands. Seems like some chaotic air-space in eastern europe.

You and me both.

The Russians acknowledged that this missle was fired by Russain miltary forces during a training exersize. Not to belay your point that the islamics have and probably will use such weapons to strike commercial airliners (when they are ready). Personally, I think flight 800 was downed under similar circumstances -- US maneuvers off the coast of NY or a missle fired by a terrorist from the coast of Long Island.

Was that an El Al plane? I thought it was Bulgarian.
