Was PAF being trapped to shoot down an Indian commercial airliner?
good analysis by Dr. Moeed, relating with other historical shoot downs.
the important point to note is that the passenger plane was going to Kabul and the dates were very near to the UNGA session (creating another story so that Kashmir story on the backburner). So if shot down India and Afghan team up to put blame on Pak or maybe take some joint action against Pak. Anyway, we would get bad PR.
Also the yesterday's meeting of PM IK with journos he said that India can still try Pulwama type false flag to blame Pak and take action. He said we have pre-empted it one time already but chances still there that India will try again.
