Polish prosecutors have denied a newspaper report that investigators found traces of explosives on the wreckage of the government jet that crashed in Russia two years ago, killing President Lech Kaczynski and 95 others.
Yesterday Rzeczpospolita daily said Polish investigators who examined the remains of the aircraft in Russia found signs of nitroglycerine and TNT on the wings and in the cabin, including on 30 seats.
The report appeared to confirm accusations by right- wing groups that investigators ignored evidence of outside involvement.
However military prosecutors said they were sticking to their finding that the crash was not an assassination and that no explosives were found on the aircraft. The government Tu-154 crashed on its approach to a small airport near the city of Smolensk on April 10th, 2010.
