message: I just removed the following uncited and doubtful material from the article. If anyone has citations to back up these claims, please re-add the information with appropriate references.
:However, according to the recent research activities of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, it has been discovered that the terrorism attack was plotted by the government of dictator Chun Doo-hwan to help Roh Tae-woo to win the '87 south korean presidential election. The Commission pointed that, for example, the arrest and transfer of Kim Hyon Hui was made just two days before the election day, being broadcasted nationwide; thus ensuring Roh Tae-woo's victory. Roh Moo-hyun, the 16th president of South Korea, apologized to Kim jong il and North Korean in 2007 inter-korean summit, admitting that the explostion of the flight KE 858 is ultimately unrelated to North Korea. the United States subsequently removed North Korea from its list of states that sponsor terrorism.

thread_title:  South Korean Electoral Device? 

message: This incident is listed on http://www.prophetofdoom.net/Islamic_Terrorism_Timeline_1987.Islam which lists various Arab / Muslim terror attacks. The attackers boarded the plane from Saddam airport, which they took an Iraq airway flight and exited in another Arab nation, the UAE and were tracked down to Bahrain. Iraqi airways. The guidance officers arrived in Serbia, and the mode of liquid explosives and planting the devices looks very much like the Bojinka plot where Ramzi Yousef also constructed a time bomb using liquid explosives planted in a seat, and leaving at an intermediate stop. Bojinka is an early evolution of the 9/11 attacks. Yousef also constructed the 1993 World Trade Center bomb, and is suspected of providing the inspiration or design of the similar Oklahoma City bomb. Yousef was suspected of links to Iraq, as were unindicted but likely co-conspirators of the OKbomb. Redhanker (talk) 20:29, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

message: I added controversy section and was removed twice by unknowns/noname/anonymous users with IP addresses who didn't have any valid/reasonable reason to remove it. First IP just wrote NCE which I don't know what that suppose to mean, maybe he meant NCEO which if its that is still invalid as I haven't changed the meaning of the page. A is still A. Second IP complained about english and removed it instead of attempting notify me about it and or correct the grammar. Lastly brain dead bot removed my last edit in which I fixed most if not all issues that native english speaker could have had with grammar of the content. Then administrator locked it for supposed edit warring while ignoring those reasons are not valid enough to remove content I added.

replies: text: you wrote "We know ... why they did it". If so, please add this to the article! Because right now there is no explanation at all in respect to the motive of NK for this act of terror at all, and in particular no explanation why this flight became a target! Given the capability of NK shown to plant a bomb, there would have very likely been more prominent targets, especially inside SK. The only connection this had to Korea was the fact that it was a South Korean Airline, but the bombing took place between Abu Dhabi and Thailand... Why didn't they set the bomb to detonate on the approach to Gimpo airport? What did NK expect to achieve with this act of terror, in particular when denying responsibility for it even after the bombing succeeded? 84.57.91.7 (talk) 14:06, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Restoring controversy section 

message: Not one fragment of text even tries to discuss the motive behind the action. This is a testament to the absurd dehumanization of north korea and the collective ideological malformation that completely annihilatates any ability for reasonable intellectual engagement with north korea in the english-speaking world.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.213.87.99 (talk) 15:52, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
