Why has no one stepped forward to take credit for downing the plane with a bomb? Isn't that the MO for terrorist organizations?

Accidents happen, unfortunately. Sometimes planes crash. Our technology isn't perfect, and all we can hope for now are useful lessons to be learned from the crash itself.

If I was a terrorist org, I wouldn't take credit. The new modus operandi is stealth mode, the days of TV shows about terror are over.

Terror to create havoc on the world economy and air traveling will be the first hit.

Expect more "accidents" in the future.

if a terrorist group does not claim it, the world would not know it was a bomb (per your assumption) and that fear would not translate to the population....therefore your theory dies

Terrorist organizations use terror to promote a cause. If you're just making people generally a little nervous, you're not doing a good job of advancing an agenda.
