Dutch Are Considering Measures Against Those Who Downed MH17

The Netherlands is considering action against those responsible for downing flight MH17 and hindering access to the crash site, expecting Europe to fully back the nation as foreign ministers meet tomorrow in Brussels.

“Our top priority for now remains the repatriation of the bodies,” Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said during a briefing of parliament in The Hague today. “In the case that access remains insufficient in the coming days, all political, economic and financial measures are on the table for those that are directly or indirectly responsible for this.”
