An additional data point: to date, no terrorist organization has
claimed responsibility for the crashes. It would be extremely unusual
for a terrorist group to have managed to bring about this very
difficult feat of downing two airliners nearly simultaneously, and not
claim to have done so.

It would be extremely unusual for it to be anything but terrorism in the
first place, but I agree with you. Do you know offhand how long it took
before anybody claimed the Lockerbie explosion?

I figure we're only days away from the conspiracy theories. The
Russians/Americans/Aliens shot 'em down, etc. BTW, ABCNews has an updated
article: http://abcnews.go.com/wire/World/ap20040826_890.html
