Moldova plane crash in Iraq tied to insurgency arms smuggling
Turkey's Transportation Minister alleged that a Moldovan An-26 was shot down by American forces in Iraq because the plane was smuggling weapons to insurgents.
Binali Yıldırım said American troops are said to have grown increasingly suspicious of the steady flow of Moldovan cargo planes to Iraq.
These planes have continually been involved in shipping weapons for Sunni insurgents in and around Baghdad.
