(Daily Mail) – Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau cast doubt on Iran’s claim that it accidentally shot down a Urkranian jetliner on Wednesday. Trudeau said the shoot-down of Ukraine International Airlines Flight PS752 ‘is one of the issues that we certainly need better answers to,’ during a news conference on Saturday. ‘I am, of course, outraged and furious,’ Trudeau said of the crash, adding that whether the tragedy was an accident or not still needs to be determined.
In total, 176 people, of whom 57 Canadians, were killed when Iran blasted the flight out of the sky apparently thinking it was an incoming cruise missile. ‘Canada and the world still have many questions,’ Trudeau said at a news conference in Ottawa. ‘Questions that must be answered.’ Trudeau said he contacted Iranian President Hassan Rouhani of Iran to let him know that his country’s admission that its own armed forces unintentionally shot down a flight 752 is an important step towards providing answers for families.
