Investigators have found parts of what might be a Russian missile in the area where a Malaysian Airlines plane crashed last year. Flight MH17 went down in eastern Ukraine.

Dutch government lawyers said Tuesday that the investigators from Belgium, Australia, Ukraine, Malaysia and the Netherlands are examining the pieces of what might be a Russian surface-to-air missile.

The prosecutors said the parts are of special interest to the criminal investigation. They said the parts might provide more information about who was involved in the downing of MH17.
