Report into cause of MH17 crash to be published Oct. 13
A U.S. official, who was not authorized to speaking publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity, told The Associated Press in July that it showed the plane was brought down by a BUK surface-to-air missile launched from a village under the control of the rebels.
The Safety Board said last year that the Boeing 777 was likely brought down by "multiple high-energy objects," an apparent reference to fragments from a missile warhead, but it stopped short of identifying a missile strike as the cause.
