Subject: SLS: SNET: Missile Could Have Hit Yet - F_I Now Say (fwd)

<snip>

He almost said IT (in the "Subject:" line)!

>Interesting 'blurb' from page four of Monday's South Bend Tribune:
>NEW YORK (AP)-
>     The FBI agent in charge of the TWA Flight 800 investigation has
>acknowldged for the first time that a shoulder-fired missile could have
>downed the jetliner.
>     James Kallstrom said there was no evidence of such an attack, and
>condemned renewed claims that the jet was struck by a US military missile.
>     "This terrible, terrible tragedy was not caused by our military",
>Kallstrom said Thursday. "Our military, in particular the Navy divers, are
>the heroes of this operation -- not the culprits".
>     In vestigators have focused on three possible explanations for the July
>17 disaster that killed all 230 people aboard: a bomb, a missile or
>mechanical failure.
>     Kallstrom said that it is "technically possible" a terrorist using a
>shoulder-fired, Stinger-type missile could have shot down the plane. He said
>investigators are examining the possibility although there is no evidence to
>support it over other theories.
>     He noted that similar missiles have been used to down more than 25
>commercial planes over the past two decades in AFrica, the Middle East and
>the former Soviet Union. Stinger-type missiles are designed to shoot down
>planes.
>     He would not elaborate on where a missile could have been fired from to
>hit Flight 800, which was 10 miles offshore and more than 13,000 feet high
>after taking off from New York's Kennedy Airport.
>     The missile theory has been bolstered by people who reported seeing
>something in the sky before the disaster. Kallstrom said there were too many
>people who described "strange events like flares and streaks of light in the
>sky" to ignore the possibility of a missile.
>     However, Kallstrom said investigors long ago eliminated any "friendly
>fire" scenerios or military cover-up as suggested by Pierre Salinger, a
>former ABC newsman and press secretary to President Kennedy.
>     Salinger offered an expanded version Thursday of his theory that a Navy
>Millile shot down the jet. At a Paris newsconference, he released a 69-page
>document and a set o radar images from a video.
>     The tape "completely confirms a missile fired down TWA 800", Salinger
said.
