WARSAW - Polish investigators reviewing what caused a 2010 airplane crash in Russia that killed then-president Lech Kaczynski and 95 others alleged on Thursday that the black boxes were tampered with in the original probe. Most of the others who died when the plane came down in Smolensk, western Russia, were senior Polish state officials, including the military chief of staff and central banker. The commission members outlined information they claimed showed there had been bias in the original Polish investigation led by then-interior minister Jerzy Miller. Pointing to weaknesses in the original Polish probe, he alleged that satellite photos showed that wreckage had been moved after the crash. A 2015 Polish opinion poll found that 22 percent of respondents believed the crash was an assassination.
