A pro-Russian separatist fighting in eastern Ukraine has admitted rebel forces shot down Malaysia Airlines flight MH17, it has been claimed.
The militant, who has not been identified, reportedly said fighters blasted the Boeing 777 out of the sky - killing all 298 people on board - after mistaking it for a Ukrainian government cargo plane.
He said the rebels only realised their mistake when they began searching the crash site for the parachutes of military crew who may have bailed out the aircraft, only to find the bodies of children.
The rebel - who worked locally as a miner before joining pro-Russian separatists - told a reporter for Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera that officers initially told him MH17 was a government plane. 'We shot down a Kiev plane, our superiors told us. We thought we were looking for baled-out Ukrainian pilots but instead we found dead civilians,' he was quoted as saying.
'All those poor people with baggage that certainly wasn’t military... I was looking for a parachute and found the body of a little girl,' he added.
His sensational admission that rebel forces shot down MH17 is in stark contrast to other pro-Russian forces in the area, who remain insistent that the plane was taken down by government troops.
This morning Alexander Borodai, prime minister of the self-declared Donetsk People's Republic, described evidence suggesting rebels had possession of a BUK missile launcher as 'fake'.

Like your other posts, you didn’t actually say anything.
You really don’t have any defense for your invading side shooting down this airliner from 33,000 feet for no reason.
Apparently not at a level that you can understand. "You really don’t have any defense for your invading side shooting down this airliner from 33,000 feet for no reason."
My invading side? How can you possibly construe that I have a "side" in the issue? I side with the truth, wherever that might lead. Can you handle the truth?
Who did you say that to, your pet hamster.
Could you please provide a link to you saying that.
There is no doubt that you have a side, and are throwing out all kinds of nonsense and distractions in service to the enemy.
As the free world has to start dealing with the threat of a reemerging Russian empire and aggression, you are backing them with internet propaganda.
“Could you please provide a link to you saying that”

“WHY ARE THE RUSSIANS SHOOTING DOWN SEVERAL AIRCRAFT”
The RUSSIANS aren’t. The UKRAINIAN REBELS are....
THAT CERTAINLY EXCUSES SHOOTING DOWN AIRLINERS
or what other point were you trying to make?
“Who did you say that to, your pet hamster.”
I linked to what I said in the posts above. What immature insult will you come up with now?
“My invading side? How can you possibly construe that I have a “side” in the issue? I side with the truth, wherever that might lead. Can you handle the truth?”
You have to understand that we have about 10 active ID’s that will attack ANYTHING that doesn’t jive with whatever TODAY’s Current Truth is from Kiev, no matter how much it changed from Yesterday’s Current Truth.
We are supposed to utterly believe Obama on just this ONE issue, and ignore his history of lying about everything else.
If you are trying to find out what is really happening, you are a “Putinista!”, Russian FSB Plant!”, “America-hater!”, etc. They aren’t remotely interested in what is really going on, just with pimping an agenda.
They make the Radical Paulistineans from a few years ago look like pikers.
Obviously the US shot down an airliner full of dead bodies to frame the Russians, plain as day.
//sarcasm
"What became of Drudge’s claim that it might have been an attempt on Putin’s life?"
Your post was to excuse the Russians. We all know a Russian pulled the trigger. Girkin is a Russian. The Russians command and control the entire terrorist insurgency. This is not a civil war, it’s a Russian invasion and no amount of your transparent lies can cover that up for your KGB master in the Kremlin.
LOL!
Your treacherous lies will never go unchallenged here!
“Your post was to excuse the Russians. We all know a Russian pulled the trigger.”
Correction: You are ASSUMING the Russians pulled the trigger.
If you had proof, I’m sure CNN would consider it HUGE news.
And yes, by every definition, it is a Civil War. I understand why you and the others are trying so hard to control the language of it, for propaganda purposes, but that doesn’t change the facts.
I am chuckling right now. Hope nobody hears me.
KGB Putin is a genocidal mass murdering war criminal who leads a terrorist sponsoring rogue state.
No -- by your definition.
But when Russia is shooting down planes from its territory, and training and supplying and arming the rebels, and when commanders in the field are Russian GRU, then it's an undeclared war with Russia.
You sure not not referring to Porkyshenko here?
“But when Russia is shooting down planes from its territory”
Again, your proof please?
I notice that you didn’t ask for proof of this part:
“training and supplying and arming the rebels, and when commanders in the field are Russian GRU”.
You give yourself away —
