MH17: Access to crash site hindered by separatists groups in area, says Liow


KUALA LUMPUR: More than a dozen separatist groups operating close to the MH17 crash site are preventing Dutch and Malaysian search personnel from entering the area to recover the fuselage of the plane.

Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said the complexity, due to sporadic exchanges of fire in the areas surrounding the crash site, has lowered the chances of personnel to enter the area.
