I try to find the head and the tail in this terrible story, only thing I see is accusation and counter-accusation flying around.

Here is what I know

Last summer an airline was shot down by some SAM-system(BUK 1 to 3(one of these)) It came from somewhere in the eastern Ukraine which was under the control of Separatist who is supported by Russia.

That's what I know.

This is what I don't know

1. Who fired or gave the order to fire the SAM ?
2. Came this SAM system from Russia or was it Stolen from the Ukrainian military ?
3. Was it well educated who was in charge this day and time of launch or was it just some ordinary people who sad there ?
