Nope

1) Any photo of debris
2) Any video from media agencies shot at the site.
3) Information from FR24, confirmed speed, alt and stage of flight at the moment of accident
4) Information about abrupt ending of FDR recording
5) Information about traces of explosives found at the debris
6) Pax list
7) Condition of airframe and engines from airline papers
Problem is, there is no way to connect the dots between #4 and #5. The only way to get an explosive to manage #4 is either (a) an explosive so large as to rip the plane in half or (b) an explosive that was targeted to do just that--stop the recorders. There is no evidence of the first possibility in the wreckage seen so far and the second possibility is silly because there is no way that any attacker cares about cutting off the recorders.

So I don't believe in the bomb hypothesis--not based on evidence so far.
