Rebels in Ukraine Surrender Black Boxes from Downed Plane

HeadlineJul 22, 2014

In eastern Ukraine, pro-Russian rebels have handed over flight-data recorders removed from the crash site of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17. All 298 people on board died when the plane was shot down last Thursday in a rebel-held area. A train carrying the remains of many of the victims has arrived in the eastern city of Kharkov, which is under Ukrainian government control. European foreign ministers are meeting in Brussels today to discuss a possible new round of sanctions against Russia for its support of the rebels, who are suspected of shooting down the plane.
