Legal experts debate downing of Korean airliner
The Soviet action against a civilian Korean Air Lines jet raises legal questions. Experts say interception is allowed up to 12 miles, but firing on a civilian plane breaches the spirit of international law. Analysts predict Moscow may justify via lower command or miscommunication while noting limited avenues for punishment.

Officials doubt Kremlin ordered downing of Korean airliner
U S officials speculated the Soviet downing of a Korean Air Lines 747 was likely due to military rigidity and communications problems rather than a deliberate Kremlin act. Intercepted radio chatter suggested a ground order to fire, with Moscow possibly unreachable by phone during the early morning hours.

Israel says it has been both victim and executioner in air interceptions
The report reviews historic Israeli interceptions of civilian airliners, citing the 1955 Bulgarian MiG incident where 58 perished after a Constellation crash near the Bulgaria Yugoslavia border, and the 1973 Libyan Airlines Flight 114 shooting by Israeli jets over the Sinai, with 108 dead and five survivors.
