The problem with the transponder is that civilian radar doesn't actually scan all the skies.. it only plots the transponder. So, no transponder = the plane doesn't show on any civilian radar. It will however show on military radar.
Hijacking for electronic warfare purposes seems plausible. The other unfortunate thing is that only about 15% of terrorist incidents over the last 20 years have actually been claimed.. so it's entirely plausible that we will never know what happened.
