Bill Clinton: MH17 attackers sought a divided world

Former US president Bill Clinton called Wednesday for strength in responding to the loss of flight MH17, declaring those who had downed the plane -- and provided the means to do so -- sided with a brutal vision of the world. Speaking at the world AIDS conference in Melbourne, Clinton said it ‘matters not’ if the Malaysia Airlines plane had been shot down by mistake, and the loss of 298 lives was unintended. And he paid tribute to the six AIDS campaigners who died aboard the flight. ‘He and the five other colleagues we lost lived lives which are overpowering in their contribution to a shared future,’ Clinton said, according to AFP.
