World net daily is unreliable as a news source. The article fails to mention that after twa 800, the faa found faulty wiring as a cause of explosion in the center fuel tank and further that all wiring in all Boeing 747's be replaced and with new wiring modified to prevent such explosions. Words are worthless. So the FAA's words that the wiring was the cause are worthless. The fact that they ordered a large US corporation to spend millions of dollars is not. And the fact that Boeing did not dispute the conclusion is not worthless either.
The only thing that surprises me about this article is that worldnet daily somehow fails to mention how the PRC is involved as they usually like to do a weekly hit piece on the PRC. They could have easily said "terrorist funding for shootdown from PRC" or "PRC provided logistical support for shootdown" or "PRC did (fill in the blank) to aid terrorists in shootdown".

That would be the NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board, not the FAA, althoug the FAA would be the one to order the wiring and other aircraft modifications. NTSB also found fault with the FAA which approved the original design.
IIRC, Boeing DID dispute the conclusion, and they may still be disputing it in court for all I know.
