Dutch, Australian Police Head for MH17 Crash Site

Donetsk, Ukraine: Dutch and Australian police headed on Monday for the crash site of Malaysian flight MH17 in a fresh bid to reach the insurgent-held east Ukraine location after fierce fighting nearby scuppered their previous attempt, an AFP reporter said.

The team departed from rebel stronghold Donetsk where bursts of gunfire rang out on Monday morning and shelling was heard overnight.
