Wait.. It wasn't an accident?

The weirdly coincidental death of a man who attempted a coup against a nearly all-powerful dictator? No, definitely an accident. This is clearly fake news.

The story of "playing with grenades while drunk and high on cocaine" was so plausible too.

Definitely what high-level people would do in a plane.

It's not as if anyone seriously expected Putin to have planted that bomb himself, duh.

I didn't expect him to do that, but I wouldn't exactly have been shocked if I found out he did just for the pure pleasure of doing so.

Still, "ally" and saying he was "behind" the bomb implies that this guy was not taking orders from Putin, and planned this himself.

Shoddy journalism.
