Re: the event occurred in an area which is prone to earthquakes presumably because of its well recognized, unstable geological formation. Had a tsunami been found in a part of the world where large earthquakes and tsunamis were unknown, eg the eastern seaboard of the US, then I would say one has reason for suspicion, but not this time.

South-east Asia may be indeed a seismic hotbed, yet the tsunami was a freak one:

Most tsunamis occur in the Pacific basin because it is encircled by the "Ring of Fire," the necklace of the world's most tectonically active spots. Sunday's tsunami in the Indian Ocean was the first in that region since 1883, when the Krakatoa volcano exploded.
