Iran 'forces down plane carrying US military officals'

The Fars news agency said that the incursion was unintentional, and those on board the the jet were questioned and then released.

Five senior US military personnel and three civilians were reportedly on board the aircraft. They were interrogated at an Iranian airport, but allowed to leave the following day after it became clear the incursion was accidental, according to Fars.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

This story is all over the map, with one source claiming US military people were on the plane, another claiming it was a Hungarian relief agency plane, etc. About the only thing we do know for a fact is that we are not getting the straight story here!
