...the disappearance of the Malaysia Airlines plane. Could this be an indication that they believe that Xinjaing separatists may be involved?

Nothing mentioned about Chinese authorities in your link, got a better one?

I do hope not but I did wonder - is it still believed that the plane went missing over the sea?

[Zacs-Master]

Probably a suspicion rather than a firm belief.

[boxtops]

Still missing, presumed at sea - no mention of terrorist activity here, but I guess they are trying to cover every possibly angle http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/03/08/us-malaysiaairlines-flight-idUSBREA2701720140308

Whatever it's tragic, very little hope of survivors now.

[Brinjal]

My thoughts as well sandy. Whatever it is very sad.

Not very nice waking up to this horrible news this morning.
Horrendous thing to happen and feel very sorry for all their relatives and families.
Shocking.

The talk of increased airport was mentioned on Radio 4 this morning. It's just over a week since this happened so they've good reason to be vigilant.
