Evidence of BUK-Missile

Today RTLNieuws, a dutch commercial news organization claims to have proof that a BUK-missile shot down MH-17.

The journalist Jeroen Akkermans, who we know from his pictures and correspondence on the MH-17 crash, collected fragments of the missile last november, before the debris of the plane was recovered.

These fragments have been analyzed by three different independent agencies and these conclude that the fragments are from a later model BUK-missile.

Fragments were shown not only from the warhead (deformed rusty metal that resembles the typical part of fragmentation warhead, but also a fragment which is from the rest of the missile and a stanced 2 in it. Next to this pitting was shown on parts of MH-17.

For a change, the RTLnieuws site decided to run the story in English as well. See link below.
