MH17: 'Terrorists Blocking Train Of Bodies'

Trains containing bodies from the MH17 crash site are being blocked by "terrorists", the Ukrainian government has said.

"We sent two trains, four carts, which right now are in Torez City," said Ukraine Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk. "These bloody guerrillas do not allow the train to leave the area."

Rescuers have found 251 bodies of the 298 victims in the area where the Malaysia Airlines flight came down in eastern Ukraine on Thursday, a government statement added.

A total of 86 body parts have also been recovered but there are fears some of the bodies were incinerated without a trace during the crash.

"We're looking at the field where the engines have come down," said Michael Bociurkiw, a spokesman for the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe.

"This was the area which was exposed to the most intense heat. We do not see any bodies here. It appears that some have been vaporised."

The have also been accusations that bodies were removed by rebels.

Lyubov Kudryavets, a worker at the Torez morgue, said that on the evening the plane went down, a resident brought in the bloodied body of a child aged seven or eight. On Saturday militiamen came to take away the body away, she said.

"They began to question me: 'Where are the fragments of rocket? Where are the fragments from the plane?'" Kudryavets said. "But I didn't have any wreckage... I swear."

The blocking of the trains comes despite comments from Russian President Vladimir Putin that "we need to do everything to ensure the security and safety of the observers and the experts working at the crash site".

Sky's Katie Stallard, reporting in Moscow, said: "The Ukraine government uses the word terrorists, we would probably use the word rebels or separatists.

"If President Putin's statement was meant to move those people or indicate to them that they should now co-operate, that is plainly not happening."

The destination of the trains - which have refrigerated wagons - is not known.

Ukraine Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk has said he is willing to hand control of the crash investigation to Western partners.

The Netherlands, which lost 192 citizens, could take the lead.

Dutch and Malaysian investigators were due to arrive in Ukraine on Monday.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian government forces are trying to break into the city of Donetsk - which was taken by rebels in April - in the first major outbreak of violence since the crash.

Fighting is under way near the city's railway station, with reports of four government and two rebel tanks heading to the area.  

A Ukrainian military spokesman said an operation was in an "active phase" but would not comment on reports of troops entering Donetsk.

"It is dangerous near the railway station!" the Donetsk city council said in a statement on its website, asking residents in the area to stay indoors.
