Kerry Pressed for MH-17 Evidence
The father of a young American who died aboard Malaysia Airlines Flight
17 is pressing Secretary of State John Kerry to release evidence to
support his early claims that the U.S. government possessed details
about the launch of the missile that killed 298 people, reports Robert
Parry.

The
father of Quinn Schansman, the only American citizen to die in the 2014
shoot-down of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 over eastern Ukraine, has
asked Secretary of State John Kerry to release the U.S. data that Kerry
cited in claiming precise knowledge of where the suspected anti-aircraft
missile was fired.
One of the mysteries of the MH-17 case has
become why the United States – after asserting that it possessed
information implicating ethnic Russian rebels and the Russian government
– has failed to make the data public or apparently even share it with
Dutch investigators who are leading the inquiry into how the plane was
shot down and who was responsible.
