The Soviet-made TU-154 hit the top of trees as it attempted to land at a Smolensk airport at 10:50 a.m. (06:50 GMT). There were no survivors.

Kaczynski"s wife and a delegation of senior Polish officials, including the chief of the General Staff and the head of the national bank, were also on board.

"All the bodies of the dead have been located," Emergency Minister Sergei Shoigu told Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, who heads a commission on the disaster.

A highly-placed police source earlier told RIA Novosti that Kaczynski"s body may have already been found, but that "additional tests, including DNA," would be needed to identify many of the bodies.

The Polish president was on his way to pay tribute to the some 20,000 Polish officers who were executed by Soviet secret police in Katyn forest and other locations in 1940. The officers had been taken prisoner by Soviet forces when the USSR invaded Poland during the early days of World War Two.
