Rebels in eastern Ukraine have handed over two flight-data recorders from the downed MH17 plane to Malaysian experts.

A senior rebel leader signed them over to the Malaysian officials at a meeting in the city of Donetsk.

The handover came hours after the UN Security Council voted unanimously to demand immediate international access to the crash site.

The Malaysian Airlines passenger jet crashed last Thursday, killing all 298 people on board.

Western nations say there is growing evidence that flight MH17 was hit by a Russian-supplied missile fired by rebels, but Russia has suggested Ukrainian government forces are to blame.

Experts say the "black boxes" will reveal the exact time of the incident and the altitude and exact position of the aircraft.

They should also contain the cockpit voice recorder, which it is hoped will provide clues as to what the cause of the crash was.

The rebels have had several days of uninterrupted access to them and they have former KGB operatives that would have the technical skill needed to alter the tapes to say anything with no difficulty at all. The have the means, motive & opportunity to alter those them so the tapes are probably worse than useless now.

I also highly doubt they will return the bodies and belonging /luggage of everyone on that flight on a timely basis.

I think you're being overly conspiratorial.
