Obama: MH17 downed by surface-to-air missile, shot from Russian-backed separatist territory


PETALING JAYA: Evidence indicates that Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 was shot down with a surface-to-air missile from an area controlled by "Russian-backed" separatists in Ukraine, said United States President Barack Obama.

Condemning what he called an outrage of unspeakable proportions, he said this act was not the first as they had shot down a Ukrainian Transport plane, a helicopter and claimed they shot down a fighter jet.
