CDM reported our opinion recently that we deducted the helicopter crash causing the death of President Raisi of Iran was due to human error in bad weather.

Additional evidence has come to light from sources in-country showing video of the discovery of the crashed aircraft and remains of those on board.

The video, which we believe to be authentic, shows possible shrapnel damage to the tail boom of the Bell aircraft.

This could be possible evidence of a shoot down.

The damage could also be from a mechanical failure, such as a turbine engine disintegrating.

CDM/AFP will report more as we receive.
