Insurance on crash victims fuels bomb theory
Insurance policies totaling at least 115000 were taken out on a Thai woman and her year old daughter shortly before they boarded Cathay Pacific Flight 3 7 8 which exploded over South Vietnam killing 81. Investigators say a bomb in the luggage caused the crash and insurers may have motive. The Bangkok office of American International Assurance confirmed policies worth 2000000 baht and 300000 baht on Somwang Promprim and Sonthaya Chaiyasut, related to a Bangkok police officer and a pilot. Police were investigating.
