Proliferation is a major issue that rarely makes the news - what was the outcome of the 2007 South Africa nuclear plant incident? This is just speculation (and to be clear, there's no relation between that event and this one) but I think there is certainly more to this incident than currently being acknowledged.
I think the plane could have been deliberately diverted, interdicted, or otherwise detained or downed by a government or someone acting a government's behalf.
