MH370: Check Kandahar, say family members
Reports that MH370 is in Kandahar prompts family members to request Malaysian government to search for the plane there.
PETALING
JAYA:Family members of the missing MH370 flight passengers want the
government to investigate claims that the missing flight is in Kandahar,
Afghanistan.
There are reports that the plane is in the South Asian country and it quoted Russian intelligence agency as the source.
The request was
made by the next of kin in a letter dated April 14 and is addressed to
Acting Transport Minister Hishamuddin Hussein. A copy was also forwarded
to Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak.
“We are aware
that Government of Malaysia is currently focusing its search effort in
South Indian Ocean based on the data supplied by Inmarsat. However, we
are entering the 37th day without success in finding any physical
evidence in this area.
“Hence, it is
high time that the Government should start thinking out of the box by
exploring and re-examining all leads, new and old.
“Based on this
spirit, we respectfully request your kind consideration to re-engage the
Russian and Afghanistan governments in order to examine and verify the
claim that MH370 landed in Afghanistan.
“We are
confident that the Malaysian government will find that this path is
worth exploring considering the lives of 239 passengers and crew on
board MH370,” said the next of kin in the letter that was published on
Facebook.
The MAS flight bound for Beijing from Kuala Lumpur International Airport had gone missing from radar on March 8.
Search efforts have been focused in the southern part of the Indian Ocean but to date nothing related to MH370 has been found.
