Dutch PM - unlikely investigators will get to MH17 crash site


AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Prime Minister Mark Rutte said on Friday it was increasingly unlikely Dutch investigators would be able to reach the Malaysia Airlines MH17 crash zone in eastern Ukraine due to fighting and the approach of winter.

Speaking at a weekly press briefing, Rutte said he was "still furious" that the site of the July 17 disaster remained inaccessible nearly four months after all 298 people onboard died -- two-thirds of them Dutch nationals.
