Early indications from the investigation into the fatal crash of an Austrian jet are pointing away from a bomb, experts close to the probe said. One said speculation now focuses on engine failure. But the investigators stressed that no firm conclusions can be drawn yet and that no possibility has been excluded. The Lauda Air Boeing 767 crashed late Sunday in northwest Thailand, shortly after takeoff from Bangkok. All 223 people aboard the plane were killed.
