Pakistan dismisses reports of Malaysian jet in its territory
[DAWN] Pakistain's top aviation official on Saturday dismissed Western media reports that missing Malaysian airliner might be hidden somewhere in the country.Have they checked in Dera Ismail Khan? "It's wrong, plane never came towards Pakistain," Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Aviation Shujaat Azeem told Dawn.com. Hijacking a plane full of people is pretty evil. When I think "evil" the word "Pakistain" pops right into my mind. Right after "North Korea" pops into my mind... His attention was drawn on the reports which said the disappeared plane could have potentially reached as far as Pakistain. "Pakistain's civil aviation radars never spotted this jet," he said. Azeem said the plane disappeared far away from Pak air space and was not visible on its radars, "so how it could be hidden somewhere in Pakistain." However, there's more than one way to skin a cat... he said that his division was on alert and following all developments related to the incident. "At present there are 95 ships of various countries are in the Indian Ocean on search mission," said Azeem. "No one among those who are on search mission has contacted us to seek information on this tragedy." Posted by: Fred 2014-03-16 |
