The mystery surrounding the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 may have been resolved.

After a two-year Dutch-led criminal probe (http://mashable.com/2015/07/16/mh17-crash-field-of-death/), the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) has compiled (https://www.om.nl/onderwerpen/mh17-crash/@96068/jit-flight-mh17-shot/) an interim report which indicates that flight MH17 that crashed in eastern Ukraine in July 2014 was shot down by a Russian Buk missile. It's based on social media posts, intercepted telephone conversations between rebel leaders and witness statements.

All 283 passengers and 15 crew members were killed when the plane, which was en route from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, crashed.*
