Two
days after EgyptAir Flight MS804 disappeared over the
Mediterranean, investigators have begun recovering debris and are now
examining it for any signs of a terrorist attack.
The fact
that the plane, which was carrying 66 people, went down over water
greatly complicates the investigation, and an official explanation for
the crash could take months or years -- if it can be traced at all.
That said, the possibility of a terrorist attack is currently the leading theory, for the same reasons Stratfor noted in this initial piece (published
as early reports of the crash were coming in late Wednesday evening,
Central time). Now, while still gathering information about the crash
itself, analysts are also listening closely to what is happening in the
jihadist realm. And the lack of a credible claim for the supposed attack
at this point raises duelling possibilities.
