while it's very difficult not to have strong feelings against the "rebels" with this whole thing, let's be careful not to trust just a single side when so much is at stake and the whole thing is being explored politically
"According to government officials, the rebels also removed debris and 38 bodies from the scene as part of an attempt to cover up what happened, and money, jewelry and other items had been looted from the dead. They urged relatives to cancel the credit cards of victims.
Borodai, the rebel leader who calls himself the prime minister of the self-styled Donetsk People's Republic, denied that his forces removed any bodies.
"There is even a house where a body fell, the landlord asked us to remove, and we haven't because we are not allowed to move anything," he said.
A CNN crew at the scene Saturday said it did not see any signs of looting or the rebels rummaging through items at the crash site."
