airliner in 1988, stand during a ceremony to mark the 14th anniversary in Persian
Gulf on Wednesday July 3, 2002. About 500 relatives of victims sailed from the southern
port city of Bandar Abbas to the spot where the IranAir Airbus A300 crashed into
the water on July 3, 1988, killing all aboard. A Pentagon inquiry found the weapons
system computer on the missile cruiser USS Vincennes misidentified the plane as anIranian
fighter, an account disputed by Iran. (AP Photo/Hasan Sarbakhshian)
