Middle of a war zone. Now the question is whos responsible. There were 298 people on board including three infants. More than half were dutch citizens. There were no survivors. Malaysias Prime Minister said the pilots never made a distress call. They meet today to discuss forming an international investigation. Flight 17 took off from amsterdam and was headed to kuala lumpur. It was about 30 hours into its flight when it crashed. Susan mcginnis is in washington. Susan, good morning. Marlie, good morning. U. S. Intelligence officials and their counterparts in other nations around the world are working today to try to determine who launched this surfacetoair missile believed to have brought down this plane. Its clear to most it was no accident. What has yet to be determined is who is responsible and what was the intent specifically . Was the shooting down of this commercial jetliner, this civilian aircraft a tragic accident . Investigators will be combing through a ninemilelong trail of debris in Eastern Ukraine to figure out exactly what happened to Malaysia Airline flight 17. This morning malaysias Prime Minister urged everyone to stay away. No one should interfere with the area or move the debris. The boeing 777 traveling from amsterdam to kuala lumpur flew over. U. S. Military intelligence strongly suspects a surfacetoair missile brought it down. Theyll now examine the aircraft for thaefd the jets skin was punctured by a highspeed impact. Prorussian separatists and others are blaming each other for the downed crash. Theyve got reportings. Cbs news couldnt verify the recording but a voice is heard saying we just shot down a plane. As things stand, this looks less like an accident than a crime and if so the perpetrators must be brought to justice. All 298 people on board died including three infants and several prom namts aides researchers who were headed to an International Conference in melbourne. Now, military analysts and some here on capitol hill are speculating that prorussian separatists mistook this aircraft for you yanian military aircraft and shot it down. No information yet, black boxe offer. A lot of Unanswered Questions this morning, susan. Thank you so much. Investigators are combing through the wreckage of flight 17. Bob orr explains how theyll figure out what brought it down. So far they tell us its not clear who fired it or more importantly whether the passenger jet was being deliberately targeted. Now, some of the answers will ultimately come through intelligence, but also some will have to come from the wreckage in the planes black boxes. For starters as you see here, the trail of debris clearly shows that a jet began breaking up in midair. Wreckage and bodies are spread over several miles along the flight path, and that would be consistent with the plane being ripped apart by aerodynamic forces after the aircraft was penetrated with some high explosive projectile like a missile. Large sections of the jet have been recovered way from the primary site. That suggests the plane hit the ground at a very high rate of speed and was engulfed in a very large fire. Remember the fuel tanks in the wings were heavily load for an 11hour from amsterdam to kuala lumpur, so a lot of fuel was available. Ukraine needs to bring in a lot of highpowered expertise perhaps from the u. S. And great britain. Theyll need to examine the aircraft residue to look for evidence that the jets skin was punctured inward by a highspeed impact. Its imperative that they read the black boxes. The Big Questions going forward, who did it and why. Bob orr, cbs news, washington. Now to the conflict in the mid east. Violent and deadly clashes this morning after israel launches a Ground Invasion in ga zba. Palestinian Health Officials say 23 palestinians have been killed in the ground offensive. One israeli soldier has died apparently from friendly fire. The invasion, according to israeli officials, will be limited. Een threatening a ground offensive for days, calling out 50,000 reservists and amassing troops on the border of the gaza strip. It finally began last night at around 10 00 p. M. Local time with soldiers crossing into gaza with tanks. They report one of its soldiers were killed during the initial phase of the invasion. Three palestinian children were amongst the dead in the air strooiks last night. The first sign we had that a ground effective might be coming was a very heavy bombardment from the air last night, the heaviest weve receive the last 11 days. There was shelling from is rayan navlgs off the coast. It looks like it will target tunnels used by Palestinian Militants to infiltrate israel. The Israeli Military says they foiled an attack on thursday night as they tried to invade israel. Now israel says its that attack as well as rocket fire from Palestinian Militants during what was supposed to be a brief humanitarian ceasefire yesterday that forced it to defend its citizens. Hamas, the militant group that controls the gaza strip has vowed to make israel pay dearly for this Ground Invasion. Marlie . Holly williams in gaza city. Thank you so much.

The wreckage of Malaysia Airlines flight 17 is scattered across nine miles of ukraines countryside. There were 298 people on board. More than half were dutch citizens. Ukraine is blaming prorussian separatists but they say they are not responsible. Scott pelley spoke with cbs news senior contributor and former Deputy Director mike morell. He asked if ukraine could be responsible for shooting down flight 17. It doesnt make a lot of sense to me that the Ukrainian Military is the responsible party here. I cant imagine what target they would be shooting at. The separatists, the rebels dont have an air force, so i cant malk that the Ukrainian Military is looking in the sky as it tries to deal with these rebels. And if the russianbacked rebels are responsible for this, where does that leave russian president Vladimir Putin in your estimation . I think there is a followon question that if the separatists were to have shot it down. The followon question is did they use a system provided to them by the russians or did they get training from the russians or did the russians actually help them do this. And if theres any russian connection, then i think that puts a tremendous amount of pressure on putin who you know has claimed that he is working for peace and has claimed that he is not providing support to the separatists. So he would be seen as a liar and hed be under a tremendous amount of pressure. That was scott pelley talking with cbs Senior Security contributor mike morell. Last night on his pbs show, charlie rose sat down with former secretary of state Hillary Clinton and asked how the u. S. Should respond. So what does the United States do if there is a clear indication and clear evidence that it was russian separatists and perhaps using weapons from russia . I think that the first question is what does europe do. I think the United States has been very clear in both its criticism on russian and putin. If there is evidence linking russia to this, that should inspire the europeans to do much more on three counts, one, toughen their own sanctions, make it very clear there has toa price to pay. Number two, immediately accelerate efforts and announce they are doing so to find alternatives to gazprom. And, thirdly, do more in concert with us to support the ukrainians. Put putin on notice that he has gone too far and we are not going to stand idly by.
