Iran indicts 10 over Ukraine jet crash
MISTAKE?
Tehran was widely criticized last month after releasing a report that blamed the downing of the Ukrainian airplane on human error and named no one responsible

Ten officials have been indicted in Iran over last year’s military shootdown of a Ukrainian passenger plane that killed 176 people, a prosecutor said yesterday, an announcement coming just as Tehran begins indirect negotiations with the West over its collapsed nuclear deal with world powers.
The timing of the announcement comes after Iran last month faced withering international criticism for releasing a final report into the shootdown of Ukraine International Airlines flight No. PS752 that blamed human error, but named no one responsible for the incident.
