ZEEV registered indicates to me an internal problem in the landing gear area or pure and simple, sabotage
If it was sabotage it was done by the USA and don`t doubt that they wouldn`t do it to draw sympathy from the world countries to get them to join the coalition.. Also, with an Israeli on board I`m sure they have photos of people in IRAQ dancing in the streets.. which when shown all over the world it would be easier to get support for our cause. I never doubt the conspiracy theory
