Amsterdam, July 23 (RHC)-- The coffins of passengers who died in the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 were flown to the Netherlands today after being moved out of eastern Ukraine.

The remains of around 200 of the 298 victims were transferred on Tuesday after being held up for days due to the conflict in the region.

In related news, top U.S. intelligence officials say they believe the targeting of the plane was a mistake. They also say Russia had no direct involvement, but have accused Moscow of "creating the conditions" for the downing through the arming and training of separatist rebels.

Russia denies the allegations and has joined with other members of the United Nations Security Council to approve a measure calling for an international investigation.
