Polish president likely killed in plane crash
(CNN) -- Polish President Lech Kaczynski was likely killed early Saturday when the plane he was traveling in with his wife crashed at a western Russian airport, a spokesman for Poland's Foreign Ministry told CNN.
"It's probably that all people on board were killed," said Piotr Paszkowski.
The plane was approaching the airport at Smolensk, Russia, and probably hit some trees at the end of the runway, Paszkowski said.
"It caught fire, the fire has now been extinguished, but the extent of the damage is such that it's unlikely anybody on board survived," he said.
Kaczynski was 60.

ETA: By God, all of our army generals went down with that plane! The head of the whole army and heads of the air force, marine and ground forces. The were also normal security guards and families flying to visit the graves of their relatives killed in Katyń. But now they say that 130 people died and not 132. Small mercies.
