Strange that there has been no group claiming the successful act of terrorism and if you wanted to simply kill the passengers it seems like that could have been done with much more media impact by simply turning around crashing into the Petronas twin towers in KL. To go to this level of effort to "hide" the aircraft either the aircraft itself is the purpose of the act or the ransoming of the return of the passengers. There has been no claim for ransom that has been discussed so that leaves the aircraft. What is a used 777 worth and could anyone operate a stolen 777 without assistance from Boeing? Seems unlikely. So probably not many buyers out there. Part it out? Could do but I believe the value of parts is in the paperwork that goes with them and they would have none. So what other use would a bad guy have for a 777 ER? Only think I can think of is that it flies a long way and could be loaded with a lot of explosive material.
