il corriere della sera di qualche giorno fa riportava che si sospetta la presenza a bordo di un carico di detonatori, destinato ai guerriglieri hezbollah libanesi, imbarcato dai servizi segreti iraniani probabilmente all'insaputa dell'equipaggio.
il carico avrebbe dovuto arrivare in libano dopo una complessa trafila comprendente il cambio dei documenti di viaggio, e la sua effettiva presenza spiegherebbe la presenza di un alto ufficiale delle guardie della rivoluzione a bordo.
non riesco a trovare il link diretto al corsera, ma solo questa citazione, da un sito israeliano:
Ten days ago, a Caspian Air TU 154 went down shortly after takeoff from Tehran killing all 188 people on board. On Saturday, the Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera reported that the plane went down because it was carrying explosives that were destined for Hezbullah in Lebanon.
The report quoted Middle East sources who said the plane, which took off from Tehran and was headed for Armenia, was carrying in its luggage compartment several metal cases with two kilograms of explosives and detonators destined for the Lebanese terrorist group. The shipment was meant to have continued by land from Armenia to Turkey, then to Syria, and finally to Lebanon.
Only 16 minutes after takeoff, the pilot of the Tupolev jet reported an emergency. Shortly afterwards, the plane crashed near the city of Qazvin. Eyewitnesses reported hearing explosions in the plane before it crashed into the ground.
The Italian paper also said that a member of the elite Iranian Revolutionary Guards was on board the plane to monitor the delivery of the goods to Hizbullah and that Iranian security forces arrived at the plane crash site. Iranian authorities have said that they recovered the plane’s three black boxes but have not yet offered an explanation for the fatal crash.
mi rendo conto che la cosa ha poco a che fare con un thread tecnico, però...
