Ten years after a Malaysian airliner was blown out of the sky over Ukraine, killing all 298 people on board, the mother of one of the victims says she still has questions. A Dutch court has ruled that Russian intelligence agents worked with a Ukrainian separatist leader to transport a Russian military missile system that was used to shoot down flight MH17. More than two-thirds of the victims were Dutch, and three people were convicted in absentia of murder by a Dutch court -- with investigators concluding there were "strong indications" of Russian President Vladimir Putin's personal involvement. Selene Fredriksz, who lost her son and his girlfriend, says she believes Putin is "guilty as hell" and still hopes for further convictions.
