It looks like the WSJ full story is behind a paywall, so here is the same story on MSN.

A DHL plane from Leipzig Germany crashed in Lithuania today. There are no obvious signs of sabotage yet (still really early), but given what happened previously in Leipzig with parcels sent from Lithuania, they are investigating it with that in mind.

A DHL plane crashed as it came in to land at Lithuania's Vilnius airport on Monday morning, killing one person in what Germany's foreign minister later said could be an accident or a hybrid attack in "volatile times".

Lithuanian officials said there was no indication of sabotage so far, though Germany is investigating several fires caused by incendiary devices hidden inside parcels at a warehouse in Leipzig for delivery by DHL earlier this year. German authorities were investigating Monday's crash as well.
European countries have repeatedly expressed concerns about the vulnerability of civilian infrastructure -- misgivings which also reared their head after the unexplained severing of two fibre-optic cables in the Baltic Sea last week.
I hope it is just a coincidence because if Russia is behind it, it's probably going to hit the fan pretty hard.
