Polish President Dies in a Plane Crash
(SMOLENSK) The President of Poland, Lech Kaczynski, and a number of other leading Polish politicians, including the Poland’s army chief and commanders of ground, naval and air forces, died in a plane crash in Smolensk, Russia, near the border of Belarus on Saturday morning.
The delegation was flying in from Warsaw to mark the 70th anniversary of the Katyn massacre of thousands of Poles by Soviet forces during WWII where Stalin tried to annihilate the Polish military lead.
