Pilot may escape punishment in Rust crossing Kremlin
Moscow says Matthias Rust, 19, may be allowed to return home without trial after flying a single engine plane across the Soviet frontier and landing near the Kremlin.

Soviet authorities weigh how the 400 mile breach occurred as defense forces question misidentification and response.
