Trudeau: Ukranian plane likely downed by Iran missile

‘I want answers,’ says Canadian prime minister

By Barry Ellsworth

TRENTON, Canada (AA) - The Ukrainian airliner that crashed killing 176 people was likely downed in error by an Iranian missile, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Thursday.

Trudeau confirmed intelligence from various sources led to that conclusion, but only a “full and credible investigation” could definitely confirm it.

“The evidence indicates the plane was shot down by an Iranian surface-to-air missile,” Trudeau said at a news conference. “We recognize that this may have been done (by) accident.

“I want answers,” Trudeau said.

The Boeing 737-800 was just airborne from an Iranian airport when it crashed. Most passengers were Iranian or Iranian Canadians bound for the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv.

Trudeau refused to blame U.S. President Donald Trump, whose action in killing a high-ranking Iranian general resulted in Iran sending missiles into Iraq in retaliation.

A few hours after that attack, which Trudeau condemned, the airline crashed.
