Bribery Charges Fly As Fatal Crash Reveals Tangled Web Of False
Documents, Smuggled Goods
An Antonov An-12 cargo plane crashed Saturday afternoon in
Uganda, killing pilot Vladimir Emelyanov, co-pilot Vitaly
Smetankiy, and four other crew members: Mikhail Matvyeev, Alexandr
Bitkin, Alexandr Miebvrbev, and Andrei Morozov. All of the victims
are Russians. But while investigators from Uganda's Civil Aviation
Authority continue to examine the wreckage of the ex-military cargo
plane, the Ugandan press has been more interested in what the plane
was doing -- and the wide discrepancy between that and what it was
supposed to be doing.
