MH17: Victim found with oxygen mask on, says Dutch minister


THE HAGUE: One of the victims of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 shot down in Ukraine in July was found wearing an oxygen mask, the Dutch foreign minister and prosecutors said, raising the possibility that some passengers might have known their plane was doomed.

"You know that somebody was discovered wearing an oxygen mask and had time to put it on," foreign minister Frans Timmermans told a talk show on national television late Wednesday.
