Brussels: NATO demands immediate and full international investigation of Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 crash.
NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen in a statement issued on Thursday night said:
I am profoundly shocked and saddened by the crash of a Malaysia Airlines passenger aircraft in Ukraine today, with the loss of many lives.
I offer my sincerest condolences to the families and the loved ones of the victims and to all those touched by this terrible tragedy.
Much is unclear about the circumstances of the crash. However the instability in the region, caused by Russian-backed separatists, has created an increasingly dangerous situation.
It is important that a full international investigation should be launched immediately, without any hindrance, to establish the facts and that those who may be responsible are swiftly brought to justice.
