Malaysian PM discusses missing jet with PM Nawaz
ISLAMABAD: Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak spoke with his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday. During the conversation, the prime ministers discussed the missing Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777.
Earlier on Tuesday, Minister for Information Pervaiz Rashid reiterated that the missing jet was not in Pakistan. Rashid told reporters the jet could not have landed in Pakistan as there were only a few airfields in the country which could accommodate such a large aircraft.
On Monday, British newspaper ‘The Independent’ reported that Malaysian authorities were seeking diplomatic permission to investigate a theory that the plane could have flown to areas of Afghanistan and North West Pakistan.
No information on Pakistan’s radar of missing jet
Foreign Office Spokesperson Tasneem Alsam said Pakistan’s radar had no information about the missing Malaysian passenger plane.
Speaking to a Chinese news agency, she said that Pakistan is ready to share any information with the Malaysian authorities if it was available.
Aslam said: “an emergency is declared and the Pakistan Air Force moves into action when any aircraft flies illegally in Pakistan airspace”.
Thailand Gives Radar Data Ten Days Later
The Associated Press reports Thailand’s military said its radar detected a plane that may have been Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 just minutes after the jetliner’s communications went down, and that it did not share the information with Malaysian earlier because it was not specifically asked for it.
A twisting flight path described Tuesday by Thai air force spokesman Air Vice Marshal Montol Suchookorn took the plane to the Strait of Malacca, which is where Malaysian radar tracked Flight 370 early March 8. But Montol said the Thai military doesn't know whether it detected the same plane.
