Based on the evidence I've seen, I believe that it was definitely a missile that took out flight 800. I don't believe it was a terrorist attack. When terrorists attack, they claim responsibility. It's their way of boasting and saying, "you see, look what we can do.". But in this case, no one took responsibility.

I believe that the navy defense exercises that were taking place that day confused flight 800 with that of a drone / target aircraft. I've seen pictures of a missile in flight above the water, taken the same day as the explosion, even though the military denies conducting defense exercises the day of. Somebody's lying here. And the only people talking is the NTSB.

Let's not forget the eye witnesses on the ground who "saw a streak...like a missile...heading in the direction of...". These people have nothing to gain by making these statements. The NTSB on the other hand has everything to lose. I trust eye witnesses on the ground more than I trust the NTSB any day of the week. Remember, those who work for the NTSB are paid to say what they are told to say.

JULY 17, 1996 early : (LONDON, UK : AL-HAYAT REPORTEDLY RECEIVES STATEMENT FROM THE "MOVEMENT FOR ISLAMIC CHANGE" WARNING OF AN IMPENDING ATTACK AGAINST THE USA) The London-based Arabic language Al-Hayat says it received a statement from the group hours before the plane crash warning of a new attack against the US, but US officials said such warnings were routine. -------- "Middle East link probed in TWA crash," Middle East Economic Digest, News; Pg. 14 , August 2, 1996 Copyright: EMAP Business International Ltd.

JULY 17, 1996 : (TWA FLIGHT 800 DESTROYED IN MIDAIR- See MIC) Early on July 17, 1996, the very day TWA Flight 800 was destroyed, the Islamic Change Movement issued a communique that, according to Yossef Bodansky, "laid the foundation for the downing of TWA 800." As director of the Congressional Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare, Bodansky knows the subject as well as any man alive. This is the "group" that had taken responsibility for the Riyadh bombing in 1995 that killed five Americans and two Indian nationals, and the Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia on June 25, 1996, that killed 19 American servicemen. The communique was chilling: "The mujahideen will deliver the ultimate response to the threats of the foolish American president. Everyone will be amazed at the size of that response," it read in part. "Their time is at the morning-dawn. Is not the morning-dawn near?" Dawn in Afghanistan corresponded almost exactly to dusk in New York, the moment of TWA Flight 800's demise. - "TWA Flight 800 - no longer an accident!

JULY 17, 1996 : (IRAQ : BAATHIST 'LIBERATION DAY' / TWA 800 EXPLOSION) On July 17, 1996 – Liberation Day in Saddam's Iraq and two days before the Atlanta Olympics – TWA Flight 800 blew up in the sky off the south coast of Long Island.

JULY 18, 1996 : (TERRORIST WARNINGS) So powerful and public was the warning that, by the night of July 18, the State Department had already swung into denial mode. "While it's up to those leading the investigation to make a judgment on what this means," said spokesman Glyn Davies unconvincingly, "we think that this is a common type of political tract circulated commonly in the Middle East, and that the only connection is a vague chronological one – that this thing surfaced at this dreadful time." The State Department failed to note that on this same day, July 18, the Islamic Change Movement released another communique through well-established Islamist terrorist channels in Beirut. It read in part, "We carried out our promise with the plane attack of yesterday." - "TWA Flight 800 - no longer an accident!

JULY 18, 1996 : (MIC CLAIMS RESPONSIBILITY FOR TWA FLT 800 EXPLOSION) On July 17, 1996, a TWA flight bound for Paris exploded off Long Island, N.Y., killing 230 people. Investigations concluded that what happened to Flight 800 was not a terrorist attack. Nonetheless, one day after that crash, the Movement for Islamic Change claimed responsibility, telling the world: "We carried out our promise with the plane attack of yesterday." In retaliation for such a claim-just the claim-we should have taken that organization's headquarters and training centers off the map. Nothing lost except bases of terrorism.That would have been given terrorists something to consider, and such action would have helped all U.S. citizens to be more secure overseas and at home. ---------- "What Proof?
