Russia says Prime Minister Vladimir Putin will personally head the investigation into an aeroplane crash that killed Poland's president.
A total of 96 people were on board the plane that crashed near the western Russian city of Smolensk, all of whom are believed to be dead.
Polish president Lech Kaczynski was on board the Russian-built Tupolev 154 jet when it went down in heavy fog near a military airport.
Russian authorities have already said they suspect pilot error in the crash, near Smolensk, in Western Russia.
There are reports the jet made several attempted landings before the crash.
Also on board were leading members of Poland's political elite, including the army chief of staff and the governor of the central bank.
A scan of a list of 88 passengers aboard the plane published on a Polish government website showed the names of Poland's chief of staff, General Franciszek Gagor, and Major General Bronislaw, head of operational forces.
General Tadeusz Buk, head of land forces, air force commander Andrzej Blasik and special forces chief Wojciech Potasinki, as well as navy vice-admiral Andrzej Karweta, were also on the list.
They were part of an official delegation travelling to commemorate the massacre of thousands of Polish soldiers by soviet troops during the second world war.
“Whats Russias main target ?”
Rebuilding the ‘soviet empire’..that includes Poland.
Obama ‘benefits’ from the spread of commie ‘ideals’ because he is a marxist.
Good luck with that one...
HAAAHAHAHAAAHAAAHAAAAAAHAAHAAAAAAAAA!
You gotta be kiddin’ me!
I read that to mean, they tried calling everyone and nobody picked up. Of course you can read it the other way.
Parts of the plane being found 1 kilometer away. I thought the plane crashed on landing and no reports of explosions?
How do parts land over a half a mile away? Can that happen just from impact while trying to land a plane?
“1339 GMT: Polish news channel TVN24 is showing unedited footage from the crash site. Its just gruesome. Parts of the aircraft are being found up to a kilometer away from the site.” WSJ
You think I'd make my sister a widow?
The fox is in charge of finding out what happened to the hens.
The plane was overhauled/serviced in Russia. They could have planted any sort of device to mess with the avionics when the time was right. Today the time was 'right'. The plane was on final approach in a fog ... the Russians flip a switch ... avionics go wacky or are programed to deviate a few hundred feet = pilot error.
There is no reason a modern aircraft should crash in fog. Period.
(takes off tin-foil hat.)
Just food for thought.
Oh really?
Putin would of course do whatever he could get away with.
You got that right, my friend !!
Putin, making his move right under the nose of UBAMA, THE IDIOT OF THE CENTURY !!
God Help Us, All !!
They’ll probably use the same investigators that concluded that the Nazis were guilty of the Katyn massacre.
More food for thought:

Prime Minister Donald Tusk attends dinner hosted by President Barack Obama
9 April 2010
Flags in front of the U.S. Ambassador’s residence where President Obama hosted dinner for the leaders of 11 countries.
“On April 8, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk attended a dinner hosted by U.S. President Barack Obama in Prague, Czech Republic following the historic signing of the new START Treaty, along with leaders of other Central and Eastern European Countries. The leaders discussed the historic signing of the new START Treaty, European Security, the NATO alliance and the NATO mission in Afghanistan, the importance of effectively addressing Irans failure to meet its international obligations, and promoting stability in the Balkans.”
Tusk is now the leader of Poland..how convenient.

“Even Putin isnt that brazen to kill the Polish President in his own backyard. Give the guy some credit.”
He’s pretty brazen.
you mean like poisoning those in London and killing them too.
Putin would do anything and with this fool in power and the white house then leaders from around the world are taking advantage of his lack of leadership and cluelessness.
I have family and friends over in the UK , Germany , italy etc and all of them are saying that there is not one person now who thinks obama knows what the hell he is doing
