Taliban denies shooting down Afghan plane

The commander of Afghanistan's former ruling Taliban group says his guerrillas did not shoot down a passenger plane which crashed two days ago.

NATO helicopters have found the wreckage of the Afghan airliner on a mountain top near the Afghanistan capital Kabul.

One hundred and four people were on board, including nine Turks, four Americans and three Italians.

Authorities say they are still searching for any survivors.

1. It doesn't say anyone was accusing him.

Maybe it is just a general denial, so they don't get this pinned on them. Or maybe something more. It would be interesting to know if anyone "of international significance" was on board.
