Missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370: 'Everyone on board remains under suspicion'


All passengers, crew and pilots aboard missing flight MH370 remain "under suspicion", Malaysia's defence minister has said, as the search for the stricken jet – and its elusive black box – intensifies in the Indian Ocean.
He said. "As we look into the black box, we look into new facts. It isn't just MI6 involved in the investigation, it is Chinese intelligence, it's also the FBI.
"I've asked them to re-intensify their investigations, just as we did with the radar data."

He defended Malaysia’s handling of the crisis he described as "unprecedented situation without benchmark" amid criticism from relatives of passengers on the jetliner, which disappeared on 8 March with 239 people on board travelling from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
Last week Anwar Ibrahim, the country’s main opposition leader slammed the investigation as “clearly suspect” and claimed “information critical to our understanding” is missing.
"I'm not saying MAS (Malaysia Airlines) handled it perfectly," Mr Hussein said.
