Ukraine to press for plane crash black boxes as Iran minister visits

Ukraine will press Iran to hand over the black boxes from the crash of a Ukraine International Airlines plane at a meeting with a visiting Iranian delegation Monday, foreign minister Vadym Prystaiko said. Returning the black boxes would show that Iran wanted an unbiased investigation of the crash, Prystaiko said. Iran had said Sunday it was trying to analyse the black boxes from the airliner its military shot down this month, denying an earlier report it would hand them to Ukraine. " At first they stated that they were handing them over, then the same person stated that they were not handing them over. This created some misunderstanding in Ukraine and we were starting to be asked: are they being handed over or not?" <br/>
