馬政府官員確認失聯飛機遭劫持

An unspecified MAlaysian official was quoted as saying Saturday that investigators have concluded that missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 was rding to the report, which is yet to be corroborated, the hijackers have rich flying experience and they switched off communication devices deliberately and steered the Boeing 777 aircraft off course.

綜合外媒報道，一位馬來西亞政府官員15日表示，調查人員已經確認，有一位或以上擁有資深飛行經驗的人員劫持了失聯客機MH370，關閉通訊系統，改變航線。

Although piracy is no longer a theory, the motives are yet to be established, the official was quoted as saying.

這名參加調查的官員還稱，劫機人員未說出動機，也未提出訴求，尚不清楚飛機被開往何處。

Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak is scheduled to hold a press conference in Kuala Lumpur in the early afternoon.A multinational intensive search has so far failed to locate the plane, which disappeared from radar early Saturday morning last week while carrying 239 people from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. Among the 227 passengers 154 are Chinese.

早些時候，有知情人士稱，MH370曾向衛星發出信號，於燃油耗盡之前曾在印度洋上飛行數小時，和地面指揮中心失去聯繫5個小時之內，MH370持續發出信號。
