CP NewsAlert: Trudeau says Iran must take full responsibility for jetliner’s downing

Jan 11, 2020 | 4:33 PM

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Iran must take full responsibility for mistakenly shooting down a Ukrainian jetliner, killing all 176 civilians on board, including 57 Canadians.

Trudeau says he is “outraged” and “furious” over the crash.

He says accountability must include a creditable investigation and compensation for the families of the dead.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has acknowledged that an Iranian missile mistakenly took down the plane.

The admission came a day after Iran denied claims that Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 was shot down.
