According to DPA (German Press Agency), Russian President Putin doubts that Ukrainian military shot down the plane because (a) the missiles don't have such a wide range, and (b) Russian observers were present during the Ukrainian military exercises.

President Putin has reportedly discounted the missile theory. On the other hand, El Al says there cannot have been a bomb on board. I think I heard on the news this morning that the plane stopped in Bulgaria and several passengers boarded there. Bulgaria may be the weak link.
