Reports confirm Malaysian Airline shot down by missile. Read more.....

A Malaysia Airlines passenger jet
crashed in a rebel-controlled part of eastern
Ukraine on Thursday, spurring swift accusations
from Ukrainian officials that "terrorists" shot
down the aircraft.
The United States has concluded a missile shot
down the plane, but hasn't pinpointed who was
responsible, a senior U.S. official told CNN's
Barbara Starr.
The Boeing 777 with 298 people aboard fell from
the sky near the town of Torez in the Donetsk
region of eastern Ukraine, officials said. A top
Ukrainian official said the plane, which was on the
way from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, was flying
at about 10,000 meters (nearly 33,000 feet) when
the missile hit.
A radar system saw a surface-to-air missile
system turn on and track an aircraft right before
the plane went down, the senior U.S. official said.
A second system saw a heat signature at the
time the airliner was hit, the official said. The
United States is analyzing the trajectory of the
missile to try to learn where the attack came
from, the official said.
The Obama administration believes Ukraine did
not have the capability in the region -- let alone
the motivation -- to shoot down the plane, a U.S.
official told CNN's Jake Tapper.
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak
said the plane never made a distress
call.
He called for an international team to
have full access to the crash site.
"We must and we will find out
precisely what happened to this flight.
No stone will be left unturned," he
said.
