MH17: International investigators still unable to reach crash site after four days


THE HAGUE: Fighting between Ukrainian government forces and pro-Russian separatists prevented international investigators reaching the MH17 crash site for the fourth day in a row, the Dutch team leader said. 

"There will be no convoy with Dutch experts travelling from Donetsk to the site where Flight MH17 crashed. The situation along the route is too unsafe," lead investigator Pieter Jaap Aalbersberg said in a Dutch foreign ministry statement on Wednesday.
