Poland's top military commanders perished with the NATO member's President Lech Kaczynski in a plane crash Saturday in Russia, according to an official passenger list published by the government.
A scan of a list of 88 passengers aboard the Polish government Tupolev Tu-154 jet published Saturday on a government website showed the names of chief of staff General Franciszek Gagor and Major General Bronislaw, head of operational forces.
General Tadeusz Buk, head of land forces, Andrzej Blasik, air force commander and special forces chief Wojciech Potasinki as well as navy vice-admiral Andrzej Karweta were also on the list.
"The leadership of the general staff of the Polish army is meeting today. Faced with this crisis, it will take the appropriate decisions," general staff spokesman Dariusz Niedzielski said Saturday, quoted by the Polish PAP news agency.
