    An explosion in luggage space of Tu-154 aircraft was the major reason
    for crash near Tehran, Italian newspaper "Corriere della Sera"
    reported quoting sources in the Middle East as saying. Arms cargo
    intended for Hezbollah was on board of the aircraft.

    On July 15, TU-154 plane owned by Caspian Airlines airline
    were operating Tehran-Yerevan flight with 168 passengers on
    board. 16 minutes after the takeoff, the crew reported unforeseen
    problems. During the emergency landing the aircraft crashed to the
    ground from a height of 8,000 meters. Iranian authorities have reported
    that the cause of the crash was a fire in one of the engines.

    The newspaper said Iranian authorities are trying to conceal true
    cause of the crash. The newspaper argues that there was no simple
    coincidence that just a few minutes later large security forces
    arrived at the scene. The authorities were aware of the cargo on
    board of the aircraft.

    Witnesses who watched the collapse of the liner also confirmed an
    explosion on the board. They say that they heard a strong explosion
    before the plane crashed to the ground.

    The Italian newspaper also said cargo of ammunition and detonators
    intended for Hezbollah were on board of the plane. Sender of goods
    was Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.

    Newspaper's sources argued that the ammunition was to be delivered
    to southern Lebanon by land transport.

    The load was accompanied by several members of the Revolution Corps
    who died in a plane crash, the newspaper said.
