Polish President and Army Chief of Staff dead

[Paul Rigby]

...the 1994 Chinook helicopter crash at the Mull of Kintyre in which much of the British Northern Ireland intelligence cabal died.

An analogy worth pursuing if only to discount it.

The Mull "cull" took place because the senior incumbent espiocrats in N. Ireland were intent upon a very specific and drastic change in policy. This description of that policy remains the most succinct I've seen:

The Sunday Business Post and the Phoenix have produced evidence of a plot by intelligence and police to react to an IRA rejection of the Major/Reynolds declaration with a round-up of suspects on both sides of the border. The highly-publicised Operation Madronna on 19 April, involving 1,000 troops and police, is said to have been a “dress rehearsal” for the biggest round-up since internment. An intercepted intelligence phone call suggested that the word “internment” would not be used this time and that suspects would be charged, on intelligence information, of “directing terrorism”: a new offence recently introduced into the Northern Ireland courts.

The obvious question follows, and forgive my near-perfect ignorance of (contemporary) Polish politics in asking it: Was anything planned by the deceased Kaczynski and cohorts, especially for the near future, that might have prompted the kind of swift and deadly mass clear-out we witnessed over the Mull? Anything in the Polish press - or elsewhere - to this effect?

I have in mind something like Kaczynksi's visit to Georgia in support of the assault on South Ossetia and Abkhazia, only more serious.
