Malaysia calls for prosecuting those responsible for downing of Malaysian jet

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 29 (KUNA) -- Malaysia remains single-minded in its pursuit to prosecute those who are responsible for the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 through appropriate effective prosecution mechanism, said Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai.
He said in a statement that the interim report released by the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) for MH17, which Malaysia is part of it confirmed the earlier technical report by the Dutch Safety Board (DSB) that the aircraft was undeniably hit by a surface-to-air 9M38 series BUK missile.
He added that the report also concluded that the exact location of the launch site was an agricultural field near Pervomaiskiy, a city in Kharkiv, Ukraine - an area controlled by pro-Russian rebels at that time.(end).
