Russian authorities have confirmed that the cause of the two fatal aircraft crashes on 24 August 2004 was explosives.
The country's transport minister said that the flight recorders show no evidence of hijacking or any other disturbance on the Tu-154 aircraft before the explosion, and that the recordings also showed that the pilots struggled to save the aircraft after it had been crippled.
Federal Security Service chief Gen. Andrei Fetisov said there was no doubt that both aircraft crashed due to explosives after traces of the high explosive hexogen were found in the wreckage, reports The Associated Press.
