Malaysian Passenger Plane Reportedly Shot Down Over Ukraine

An anonymous reader writes The Russian newswire service Interfax is reporting that a Malaysian passenger plane carrying 295 people was shot down with a Buk ground-to-air missile over Ukraine near the Russian border. The Associated Press cites an adviser to Ukraine's Interior Minister as the source. First reports are that it was mistaken for a Ukrainian AN-26. Malaysia airlines confirms they lost contact with the plane (last known position), but there's no confirmation it was shot down (yet). The Ukrainian government accused Russia of shooting down a fighter jet in Ukrainian airspace last night. Reports indicate there are no survivors.

    As always, doesn't even matter which government it is, but it is a government weapon that killed near 300 people by shooting down a civilian passenger plane.
    These horrific crimes are perpetrated by government criminals will never stop as long as there are governments.

      a group of criminals that are the political class within a system, regardless of how the political class is created in the first place. This group of criminals usurps power over the individuals, which includes power to dictate what money is, what the taxes are, what the laws are and it gives itself 'legal' power to steal from the individuals and murder them. A democratic government is one, where the criminal political group is difficult to get rid of since there is no one easily identifiable target, it is a criminal hydra.

    Since the beginning of the conflict, Igor Girkin aka Strelkov has repeatedly stated that he does not have any accounts in social networks. Please, don't cite fakes.
