         Experts Positively Identify Remains of 173 MH17 Crash Victims

   by VOA News

   Experts working to identify victims of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 have
   gathered DNA samples from 283 people and positively identified 173.
   The Netherlands Forensic Institute says the DNA samples do not all
   correspond to a victim's identification.  Some of the samples appear to
   be from workers who gathered the bodies where the jet was shot down in
   eastern Ukraine.
   The Forensic Institute says it hopes to identify more of the remains
   using super sensitive equipment and additional DNA samples.  But it
   warns the process could take weeks or even months to complete.

   All 298 people onboard died when the plane heading to Kuala Lumpur from
   Amsterdam crashed in eastern Ukraine. The flight was shot down on July
   17 over an area controlled by pro-Russia separatists.
