General view of the rugged peaks of the Sirch mountain range in southeastern Iran,
February 20, 2003, where a Russian-made military plane crashed killing all 302 Revolutionary
Guards on board. The crash, which happened on February 19, was the worst in Iran's
history and had the highest death toll in a string of air disasters in Iran involving
Russian-built aircraft. The Ilyushin-76 troop carrier crashed while bringing commanders
and troops from Iran's elite Revolutionary Guard from between the southeastern cities
of Zahedan and Kerman for 48 hours leave at home. Officials blames bad weather for
the crash. REUTERS/Raheb Homavandi
