US plane with militants onboard forced down in India

The plane originated from the Middle East. But the commandos aboard obviously were destined for Afghanistan and/or Pakistan(perhaps even inside Iran?) This embarassing incident also raises the question whether it's a case of air piracy, since they are armed militants sent into a war zone that is the site of an illegal war of aggression/occupation. The sovereign government of India--if it truly adheres to international law--should detain the plane and its armed occupants until an independent & objective investigation is completed. This is definitely not a case of "free and innocent passage" over international air space. Stay tuned for more developments.
