The Russian Tu-154 could have crashed
because of a technical malfunction or pilot error but not terrorism,
said Viktor Ozerov, chairman of the Federation Council Committee on
Defense and Security, according to Russia's Sputnik news agency.
"I
rule out version of the terror attack completely. It is the aircraft of
the Ministry of Defense, the airspace of the Russian Federation, there
cannot be such a version," Ozerov is quoted as saying. "The plane had to
make a U-turn after takeoff over the sea (and) may (have taken) the
wrong direction."
