Azerbaijan demands Russia admit to shooting at plane before crash

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev demands that Russia admit that it fired at an Azerbaijan Airlines passenger jet before it crashed, accusing Moscow of initially trying to cover up the cause of the fatal disaster.

His comments come four days after the AZAL Embraer 190 plane crashed in Kazakhstan, killing 38 of the 67 people on board, with Azerbaijani officials suggesting the aircraft was hit by Russian air-defences.
