Ukraine: Rebel chief we shot down an army transporter. by Hangard: 8:19pm On Jul 17, 2014
KIEV (AFP) – A social media site
attributed to a top Ukrainian rebel
commander said the insurgents
had shot down an army
transporter at the location where
a Malaysia Airlines plane crashed
Thursday near the Russian border.
No sign of survivors at east
Ukraine airliner crash site
The comments by the top military
commander of the self-proclaimed
“Donetsk People’s Republic”
suggest the separatists had shot
down the Malaysia Airlines plane
by mistake, believing it was a
large Ukrainian army transport
plane.
“We just downed an An-26 near
Torez. It is down near the
Progress mine,” said the VK page
attributed to Igor Strelkov, which
is frequently quoted by Ukrainian
media.
The rebels shot down another
An-26 in rebel-held eastern
Ukraine on June 14, killing 49
government servicemen.
“We had warned (the Ukrainian
armed forces) not to fly in ‘our
sky’,” Strelkov says in the post.
“And here is a video confirming
that a ‘bird fell’,” said the post.
The website then provides a link
that is identical to that published
by Ukrainian media in reports
about the Malaysia Airlines jet.
The video shows locals referring
to the Progress coal mine
mentioned by Strelkov. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/07/rebel-site-suggests-insurgents-shot-malaysia-plane-mistake/

This is man's inhumanity to another man. 252 life's wasted just like that.
