The authorities are currently looking into 4 individuals.
The FBI has gotten involved, supposedly because 3 Americans were on the flight, and that may well be true, don't know
The US has sent an aircraft crash expert from Atlanta to work on this.
The two individuals bought their tickets together, although they each had different ending destinations. They were both scheduled to go to Amsterdam then one onto Italy (I believe) and the other somewhere else in Europe.
The aircraft may have turned back. That is curious since a mechanical issue would have had the pilots looking for the nearest airport and that was almost certainly in Vietnam.

Okay, just wanted to throw that in.
