Polish parliament recognizes Russia as sponsor of terrorism, says Kremlin responsible for ex-president's death.The Sejm, the Polish parliament's lower house, on Dec. 14 recognized Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism, Gazeta Wyborcza, aPolish newspaper, reported.Previously the Sejm had failed to recognize Russia as a sponsor of terrorism because the opposition did not support an amendment by the ruling Law and Justice party saying that Russia was “directly responsible” for the 2010 plane crash in Russia's Smolensk Oblast that killed then Polish President Lech Kaczyński and 95 people on board.In 2011 the Polish government released a report attributing the crash to a pilot error and adding that Russian air traffic control passed incorrect information to the crew.In November, the European Parliament declared that Russia is committing war crimes and uses “means of terrorism,” recognizing the country as a “state sponsor of terrorism.”This story originally appeared in The Kyiv IndependentMore from Kyiv Independent- Russian attacks kill 5 people, injure 18 in Ukraine over past dayKyiv Independent- General Staff: Ukraine repels Russian attacks near 6 settlements in Donetsk OblastKyiv Independent- Politico: EU and NATO almost ready to issue long-delayed joint pledge to back UkraineKyiv IndependentMicrosoft Store Offers - SponsoredThe Highest Paying Cash Back Card Is Finally Here NextAdvisorThis Stock Could Be Like Buying Amazon in 1997 The Motley FoolSavvy Americans are moving their money to these banks MSN MoneyThese are the best mortgage rates in your area MSN Money"
