KUALA LUMPUR - A China-bound Malaysia Airlines plane may have turned
back before it went missing from radar screen, a Malaysian civil
aviation official said Sunday.
The Malaysian authorities are also investigating two passengers that
had used false passports to board the plane, department of civil
aviation director general Azharuddin Abdul Rahman said.
Malaysian rescue teams have expanded their search to the country's western coast, Malaysian military officials said on Sunday.
"What we have done is actually look into the recording on the radar
that we have and we realized there is a possibility the aircraft did
make a turn back," Rodzali Daud, the Royal Malaysian Air Force chief, told reporters at a news conference.
The flight carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew was presumed to have
crashed off the Vietnamese coast on Saturday, after losing contact with
air traffic controllers off the eastern Malaysia coast.
