Rebels recover MH17 black boxes

Pro-Russian rebels claim to have recovered the black boxes of the Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 which was shot down by yet-to-be-identified attackers.

The rebels have also assured that they will hand them over to the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).

Speaking through one of the leaders, Alexander Borodai, the rebels insisted that the recovered bodies from the site would remain in its custody pending the arrival of the ICAO.

Although the culprit is yet to be determined, intelligence suggests that Russia and the Pro-Russian rebels are rosponsible for the attack on the commercial flight.

The flight had 298 people aboard with 193 from the Netherlands, 43 from Malaysia, 27 Australians, 12 people from Indonesia, 10 from the United Kingdom with others from Germany, South Africa, Belgium, Philippines and Canada.
