Former Polish president Lech Kaczyński and 95 other victims of the air crash in Smolensk on April 10, 2010 were killed as a result of a bomb attack — this was the main theme of the accident’s third anniversary tributes in Warsaw, organised by the opposition Law and Justice (PiS) party led by Kaczyński’s twin brother Jarosław.
The official Polish and Russian commissions which investigated the crash blamed pilot error for attempting to land in heavy fog, but the PiS claims explosives were planted on the flight and alleges Russian involvement and complicity from the Polish side.
However, the daily debunks the assassination theories, pointing out that they are contradictory and not based on facts.
