Iranian plane carrying Revolutionary Guard crashes
Thursday, February 20, 2003

Iranian-backed forces moved into Iraq yesterday without US approval, threatening to destabilize a post war Iraq before that war is even fought (“US concern as Iranian-backed troops enter Iraq”).

Last night, Iran lost 302 of its top military troops in a plane crash
(“Elite troops perish in Iran plane crash”, “Iranian plane carrying Revolutionary Guard crashes”). This is a potentially crippling blow to that nation’s military.

Were these troops headed home, or somewhere else?

Their plane disappeared from radar as it was descending to land. It was a Russian built aircraft flying in a mountainous region during snowy weather. Every article on the web sums up the story with a list of other recent plane crashes in the area.

Nothing to see here, move along.
