AIR PARTS FIRM MAY BE LINKED TO CRASHES
The BBC reports that the November plane crash in New York may be linked to an Italian company under investigation for possibly selling used aircraft parts as new. BBC quotes a police spokesman who said three Italian companies "obtained, reconditioned and sold a large quantity of aeronautical material" to airlines in Europe and the United States. AP had something on it over the weekend and Reuters had a brief on the arrests in Italy but didn't raise the link to New York.
