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.
This makes me curious, and also ....

I am sure that you have been answered by now, but I just had to add— This is the thing (electro magnetic pulse) that terrorists used to cripple the CTU on “24” this season.
I have been watching a lot of 24 this year to catch up with past seasons, so my hinky meter is waaaaay up right now.
Time to fashion myself a pretty tinfoil hat.
Thanks for the ping!
If Obama had full proof that Putin had deliberately assassinated the Polish President, Obama would write a sternly-worded letter of protest, to Putin via Fed-Ex Priority Red mail, WITH return receipt confirmation AND signature verification.
Obama doesn’t fool around with terrorist countries or regimes!
“Watch therefore...”
Oh, I am watching, Lord.
Thank you Bunny. I almost always set my browser to not load pics, but you don’t mess around. It’s a heart breaking sight. I showed it to a friend.
FRegards ....
Someone in another thread today tried to tell me that Putin wouldn’t want to mess with our economy to get Obama elected.
I think it is very feasable that Obama might owe Putin for the White House. Info coming up ...
We all know that economics drives US elections. Would a foreign power be tempted to tip over the weakest link of our economy right before an election?

Scenes of mourning in Poland:
remember what happened to the collaborators of wwII.....
Obama is their enemy. If America is weak, their protection is gone. They know it, and Putin knows it.
This not going to be easy to find the truth and may be it known for all the world to see.
I remember very well.
I want names and how much was given in pay offs etc when we take back the office.
I guarantee that his “lordship” will have people stuffing papers down their pants again.
what has happened has been disgusting
Keep your sorry ass out of Poland, Putin.
talked to a poster who has her husband over there right now and is Polish and she said that no one thinks this is an accident.
Talked to some friends over in the Uk and they are saying the same.
Only over here will the media cover this up for his “lordship”
yesterday they had about 159 people on board, today 90+, where’d the rest of them go?
I would add that the plane which exploded over Queens, NY, shortly after Sept 11, was also an event which looks like terrorism. Remember also the Israeli chartered Russian plane which was "accidently" shot down by a missile over the Ukraine? Also late in 2001. Israel lost quite a number of scientists in that crash, but their positions have been filled since - the Israeli science establishment is full of Russian immigrants who have flooded into the country since the 1990s, often with the flimsiest of ties - or no ties - to any sort of Jewish community.
