Anger And Demands For Justice As Iran Says It Shot Down Plane
- By Ray Furlong
Iran's admission that it "unintentionally" shot down a Ukrainian passenger plane, killing all 176 people on board, has provoked anger in Iran and demands for justice from Ukraine. The air company, Ukraine International Airlines (UIA), says Iran should have closed its airport to prevent the risk of such incidents. The tragedy occurred hours after Iranian missile strikes targeting U.S. forces in Iraq.
