Dutch authorities will be investigating Dutch intelligence agencies interrogating them about the risks of flying through Ukraine airspace before the Malaysian Airlines MH17 was downed over eastern Ukraine in July.

According to Stuff.co.nz, the announcement by the Commission of Oversight for the Intelligence and Security Services came after the request of crash investigators probing the air disaster that killed 298 people on board.

A key question being asked by the commission is that to what extent did the intelligence agency share information with the aviation security on flying in Ukrainian airspace before the plane was downed.

Dutch police also said that the cause they are investigating is that because most likely the jet was shot down.
