Armed Rebels Demand Emergency Workers Hand Over Bodies From Plane

These terrorist bastards really understand the meaning of the words "public relations". They'll have Putin himself saying, "damn, these guys are fucking evil assed terrorist bastards" within days if they keep this shit up:

Armed Rebels Demand Emergency Workers Hand Over Bodies From Plane

By YURAS KARMANAU Published July 20, 2014, 7:57 AM EDT

HRABOVE, Ukraine (AP) — Armed rebels forced emergency workers to hand over all 196 bodies recovered from the Malaysia Airlines crash site and then had them loaded onto refrigerated train cars bound for a rebel-held city, Ukrainian officials and monitors said Sunday.

The surprising, rapid-fire developments Sunday morning came after a wave of international outrage over how the bodies of plane crash victims were being handled and amid fears that the armed rebels who control the territory where the plane came down were tampering with the evidence.

Ukraine and the separatists accuse each other of firing a surface-to-air missile Thursday at Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 as it flew from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur some 33,000 feet (10,000 meters) above the battlefields of eastern Ukraine. Both deny shooting down the plane. All those onboard the flight — 283 passengers and 15 crew — were killed.

Ukraine says Russia has been sending sophisticated arms to the rebels, a charge that Moscow denies.

He claims the bodies were dead for days before being put on the plane. Maybe he's streaming some US television or something.

A horrific tragedy in the short-run.

Good in the long-run.
