My thought is Chechen Islamist terrorists attempting to make a

You are right, of course. At the time all I had heard was that they both
went down, within minutes of each other. No word about radio calls or not.
Based on later news, I agree that fuel issues are VERY unlikely.
Unfortunately, that brings up the distinct probability that it was

Of what use is a terrorist act if nobody knows it's terrorism? If this is
terrorism in order to make a statement, the guys responsible need to work a
bit more work on their press releases.
