U S Says Russ Distort Plane Shooting Facts
The State Department accuses Russia of fabricating a distorted account of the March 15 air clash off Siberia involving a B 30 weather bomber from Alaska and two Soviet jets. Washington says the American plane was in international waters 25 miles from Soviet territory when fired upon. Moscow rejects the protest, claiming two Soviet violations of Soviet airspace. The U S notes that Moscow avoids responsibility by framing the incident in a different light. The department says the Soviet note is an attempt to shift blame and discipline Soviet personnel. There are signals the dispute may end as Moscow deflects responsibility for attacks on American aircraft.
