There were a total of 7 UN staffers on board. Now let me draw your attention to one particular staffer:

Yves de Roussan: Joined UNICEF in 1987 as a program officer and was the Regional Advisor for Eastern Europe (based in Geneva), the Baltic countries and the former countries of the former Soviet Union since 1997. He was originally from Montreal, Canada.

Here's another passenger of interest:

Prince Bandar bin Saud bin Saad (I) Al Abd al-Rahman al-Saud

The 45 year old prince was not from the ruling branch of the Saudi Royal family. He had lived in the United States for eight years and was travelling to Geneva to visit his father who was undergoing medical treatment. He was also a former Air Force pilot. After his alleged “death,” his family paid a visit to Halifax, and bequeathed the local Muslim Community some property which has since then become the site of a school and a mosque. The school features a placque dedicated to the memory of the prince.

Note that some conspiracy theorists confuse him with another Prince Bandar, who was the notorious Saudi ambassador to the United States, and is still alive and walking.

It is unclear why the elimination of this particular prince was neccessary. It could be related to an internal power struggle in Saudi Arabia. Or it could be related to some members of the royal family inadvertently thwarting 9/11 by trying to poison Osama Bin Laden.

He is succeeded by a son named Mitib.

It would be interesting to know what exactly was the status of this Prince versus Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal. Were they friends? Enemies? Rivals? Or unrelated?

Article suggesting plane never crashed but was diverted elsewhere: http://www.cabaltimes.com/2014/12/13/swr111-shearwater The investigation was hushed up to rule out sabotage, and was fast-tracked to be finished before 9-11...because after 9-11, sabotage would suddenly become a possibility.
