Then, no "oh yeah, we blew up" confessions from terrorists or ransom demands either. Maybe terrorists are just getting smarter. The uncertainty surrounding this incident has captured the world's attention in a way that yet another extremist hijacking would not.

Surely there are many groups that would love to take credit for it. Perhaps they are playing the long game.
