So now we're calling the grossly negligent killing of 176 people "illegal interference" huh? Interesting!
That's Newspeak for "shot down", just like unexpected off-airfield landing is Newspeak for "crashed".

The ground-based missile "illegally interfered" with the airplane's ability to stay in one piece.
The era of PC... we must avoid butt hurting our readership at all costs!
Found it be possible they mean the transponder was being jammed?
There needs to be some verbal clarity here. Maybe this is cleaner and clearer: "Trigger happy Iranian boobs shot down an unarmed civilian airliner." I hate articles that play with words like this Reuters dispatch."Illegal interference" is given as a direct quote from Yenin, a Ukrainian official. But Reuters for some reason was very timid in how they wrote this.
The Ukrainians should hold the Iranian's feet to the fire on this seeking at least $20 million per dead passenger.
The guys that were running the radar at the missile site and especially the one who gave the command to fire the missile should say goodbye to their families, smoke their last cigarette and decide if they want a blind fold or not. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has always tended to be a trigger happy bunch regardless of what their weapon is and who they think they are using it against. This is an Iranian Islamic Revolutionary FUBR of monumental proportions.
