CRI听力:MH17: More Bodies Arrive in the Netherlands

2014-07-25来源:CRI

More bodies and remains of those killed on board Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 have arrived in the Netherlands.

Two planes have transported 51 bags containing bodies or body parts from eastern Ukraine.

This is the 2nd set of remains to arrive in the Netherlands, after Dutch authorities received 40 bodies on Wednesday.

On the ground in eastern Ukraine, human remains continue to be found a full week after the plane went down, underlining concerns about the chaotic recovery effort at the crash site controlled by Ukrainian rebels.

OSCE spokesperson Michael Bociurkiw says European observers at the crash site have found what appears to be "machine gun type" punctures on the plane's fuselage.

"It did, even probably to an untrained eye, it did strike us that these were holes or almost machine gun type of holes, if I can put it that way, but very invasive, that bent metal that we haven't seen anywhere else."

In another development, Ukraine and the Netherlands have worked out a new agreement connected to the investigation into the downing of flight MH17.

Ukraine is handing over the leading role in the investigation to Dutch authorities.

Dutch and Australian officials have also been trying to work out a way to secure the crash site, which is controlled by rebel forces.
