Subject: RE: BS: Passenger jet shot down over Ukraine
Saw film strip on BBC news today, showing a Separatist carrying what looks like the flight recorder (black box). It has been previously reported that they took the recorder. The rebels say that they will hand over the recorder to the International team. ? Could it be compromised? Inn any case, it will have indication of loss of all systems, but that would be expected.

BBC and Al Jazeera both had film clips of what looks like the missile launcher system that fires Buk missiles being moved, but questionable as to where the film was shot. It was indicated that it was being removed from Separatist territory to Russia.

The Inspection group was not allowed complete access to the sites (kept out by armed gunmen) until after it had been picked over by the Separatists. (See BBC news) Any missile fragments may have been removed.

200 of the bodies have been put in refrigerated box cars by the Separatists. (BBC news)

Ukrainian forces do not currently have access to Separatist-held territory; it is doubtful that Ukraine will ever be able to reclaim their eastern territories.
