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. After all, publicity is extremely important to
their existance. People must know about them for them to cause
terror.

I thought this, too, but NPR did a piece yesterday in which they stated that
"most terrorist acts in Russia have occurred with no one claiming
responsibility."

This seems bizarre to me, as it makes a relatively pointless act COMPLETELY
pointless -- but whoever said terrorists were very bright?
