CRI听力:Holland Sends Military Police for MH17

2014-07-26来源:CRI

The Netherlands is sending 40 unarmed military police to eastern Ukraine to find the last victims of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17.

The country is also sending forensic investigators to the crash site.

The moves come after the Netherlands and Ukraine signed a cooperation deal over the investigation into the downing of flight MH17.

Under the agreement, Ukraine will delegate the leading role in the investigation to the Dutch.

Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte:

"First of all, we will put up the pressure, we will have more people actually working on the crash site to find the remaining remains of the victims of this air crash. And at the same time we are looking into ways which will help to make the crash site safer as a place to do this work."

All 298 people aboard the plane, most of them Dutch citizens were killed when the plane was downed on Thursday last week.

On the ground in eastern Ukraine, human remains continue to be found in the area controlled by Ukrainian rebels.

The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe says the team has found what appears to be machine gun type punctures on the plane's fuselage.

Experts have warned it could be months before all victims are identified.

Meanwhile, British aviation investigators have managed to extract data from the plane's two black boxes.

The investigators are looking for voice recordings of the last moments of the plane's flight.
