Malaysia Airlines Plane Was Hit by Surface-to-Air Missile, U.S. Officials Say

"No. I believe it. I KNOW that you will fail. There is something in the universe----I don’t know, some spirit, some principle----that you will never overcome."

A Malaysia Airlines 3786.KU -11.11%  plane carrying 283 passengers and 15 crew crashed Thursday in the battle-torn east Ukraine region of Donetsk, where U.S. intelligence agencies say it was struck by a ground-to-air missile.

"Do you believe in God, Winston?"

The U.S. agencies are divided over whether the missile was launched by the Russian military or by pro-Russia separatist rebels, who officials say lack the expertise on their own to bring down a commercial airline in midflight.

"No."

"All roads lead to the Russians to some degree," said a U.S. official. (Follow the latest updates on the Malaysia Airlines crash in Ukraine.)
