国际英语新闻：Poland says Russia's plane crash report incomplete

WARSAW, Jan. 12 (Xinhua) -- Poland on Wednesday said a Russia report on the plane crash that killed its President Lech Kaczynski was incomplete and erroneous.

Russia's Interstate Aviation Committee (IAC) investigating the crash has identified in its report that the main cause of the crash was the Polish crew's decision to land in a bad weather.

Poland's representative accredited at IAC, Edmund Klich, criticized the report as incomplete and containing errors.

The report should have described the role of air traffic controllers who could have issued "misleading commands," Klich said.

The command to abort landing was issued too late and was one of the causes of the crash, another cause was the failure to close the Smolensk airport in a bad weather, he noted.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has cut short his winter holidays and is returning to Poland on Thursday, government spokesman Pawel Gras said Wednesday.

The Polish opposition Law and Justice (PiS) leader, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, whose twin brother Lech was among the victims of the crash, said the IAC report was completely lopsided in putting the blame on Polish pilots and Poland.

Moreover, the report provided virtually no evidence for its claims and amounted to a set of speculations, Kaczynski added.

Poland's President Lech Kaczynski, his wife Maria, and 94 passengers on the presidential plane were killed in the crash near Smolensk, Russia, on April 10, 2010. The Polish delegation was on its way to the commemorations of the 70th anniversary of the Katyn Massacre in which 22,000 Polish officers were executed by the Soviets.

In December, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk rejected Russia' s draft of the final report as "unacceptable."
