MOSCOW, August 25 - Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Monday sent a message of condolences to Kyrgyz President Kurmanbek Bakiyev in connection with the crash of a Boeing-737 plane at Bishkek’s international airport Manas, the Kremlin press service reported.
The Boeing, belonging to Kyrgyz Itek Air carrier, was on a fight from Bishkek to Tehran. It took off from Manas at 18:30, Moscow time, on Sunday and several minutes later requested an emergency landing. However, it failed to reach the airport and went down five kilometres away from the landing strip, near the settlement of Dzhany-Dzher.
According to official reports, there were 90 passengers and crew on board the plane. Sixty-five bodies have been found at the site of the crash. The Kyrgyz government has set up a commission to look into the plane crash.
The jet was on its way to Tehran, the Iranian capital. Among those on board were 44 Iranian Scientists and Engineers.

Iran will produce evidence that the plane was sabotaged by Americans who are trying to get Krgyrstan to install radiological detection at their borders.

Although he deals more with one-on-one take outs, I feel the hand of Mitch Rapp on this one.

If men were meant to fly they would have wings, engineers and scientists know this.

This is a Russian site in English.
Read the comments below the posting to get a good sense of how froggy the Russians are feeling these days - all from beating up 4 Georgian brigades with a 5 to 1 ground force advantage. Sheesh.
