On Monday, the chairman of the Smolensk subcommittee presented new facts regarding the disaster of April 10, 2010. According to the report the presence of explosives on parts of the plane was confirmed by readings from detectors.
The MP Antoni Macierewicz says the explosives used are marked as p-MNT. - This is a fundamental marker that was recognized in 1990 by a world organization and all companies producing explosives must take this marker into account - he said during a press conference.
The information about detected presence of explosives was not included in Russian protocol.
"I want to say right away that there is no doubt that the identification of over 30 fragments destroyed by explosions, from the cockpit to the stabilizer and both wings, proves that the explosion destroyed the plane while it was still above the ground. Therefore there is no doubt that we were dealing with an assassination."
The information presented by the subcommittee shows that explosives were hidden in places inaccessible to passengers. The explosives could only be placed there during plane's repairs performed by the company owned by a friend of Mr. Vladimir Putin. There repairs there were approved by politicians in current government.
Apparently there is media blackout around today's conference. Maybe because from the beginning the Western media were pushing Russian conclusions that Polish pilots were ... drunk.
