That's why I end up with two primary suspects:
(a) a small group of madmen, with people who learned to
pilot using flight simulators etc.
(b) the IRA -- they have the "know how" to make
suicide attacks without losing any member of them;
they kidnap the family of the pilot, and tell him
that, unless he commits a suicide attack, they will
torture his family to death.

PS: I've also read that the palestinians are _celebrating_
the attack, as if it were a victory. This is sick :-/
