THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Experts working to identify the victims of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 have gathered DNA samples from 283 people and have positively identified 173.

Wim Heijnen of the Netherlands Forensic Institute said Wednesday the DNA samples do not all correspond to a victim’s identification. Some of the samples could be from workers who gathered the bodies where the jet was shot down in eastern Ukraine.
