Confirmed: US President Barack Obama has said a surface-to-air missile fired from a rebel-held area in east Ukraine brought down Malaysia Airlines flight MH17. The plane crashed on Thursday, killing all 298 people on board. Mr Obama called the attack an outrage of unspeakable proportions, saying he would ensure the truth is out. The US and Russia clashed at the UN Security Council, with Russias envoy putting the blame on Ukraine for its armys attacks on eastern areas. Up to 20 international observers from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) reached the crash scene near the village of Grabovo on Friday. However, Swiss Ambassador to the OSCE Thomas Greminger said the team did not get full access and were stopped by local illegal armed groups.
