Italy court closes case of 1980 plane explosion
A Rome court has definitively closed the case of a DC-9 that exploded mysteriously in 1980. Some Italians believed that the cause was covered up as the plane was shot down by the military.
During investigations, documents disappeared and air traffic voice recordings were found to have either been erased or tampered with.
The court on Wednesday upheld an acquittal handed down in 2004 of two former air force generals who had been accused of giving false information about the disaster.
