Since the potential causes appear to have narrowed to a structural failure which caused the tail plane becoming detached or an explosion within the aircraft, which led the tail plane becoming detached, I wonder if I may be permitted to ask this?
Assuming as some have speculated, this tragedy was caused by a bomb placed in the aircraft by ISIS or its sympathisers, why did this terrorist organisation not claim responsibility for placing the bomb rather than making the claim that it had shot it down?
