There still is no clear news about the Malaysian plane that disappeared on a flight to Beijing with 239 aboard. If you want to read speculation, there are numerous articles spread through the media, but no one has actual facts to report other than that the plane is missing and a search for debris is underway.
Most likely, some trace of the plane will be found soon and some of the fog will be lifted. We will probably learn whether or not the men using the stolen passports were just criminals or if they were terrorists to boot. We do know that their tickets were purchased by an Iranian, but the travel agent says that man is a regular customer of her agency in Malaysia. Was he part of a terrorist front, or was he just buying tickets for friends? And why did he pay cash? Has he now disappeared?
See how easy it is to move from facts to speculation. The sad truth is that the plane is gone. Almost certainly, the people on board are dead. Beyond that, we just don't know.
