Moscow - (Pie-in-the-Sky): Putin said last week that pesky Chechen separatist lesbians behind the Moscow metro attacks had been seen in a Bloodyvostock novelty shop selling laser beam pens.
His words echoed grimly today as a Tupolev 154 plane carrying the Polish president and his entourage crashed in the Smolensk area today.
Lech Kaczynski, his wife Maria, the head of the Polish Central Bank, a top brass general and numerous government officials were killed when the airliner crashed outside the designated airport landing strip.
They were heading back to Warsaw following a Russian/Polish ceremony commemorating the 1940 Katyn Massacre of 15,000 Polish officers.
Today's tragedy comes amid increasing reports that airplanes are being brought down all over the world by culprits dazzling cockpit crews by shining brilliant green laser pen lights at them.
The device was still at the drawingboard stage in 1988 when Abdel-Basset Ali Al-Megrahi took down a PanAm flight over Lockerbie, Scotland, using conventional terror weapon of choice the exploding suitcase.
An update is expected later.
