{UAH} FLIGHT 370: Former Malaysian Prime Minister Accuses CIA of Cover-Up

Former Malaysia prime minister, Mahathir Mohamad said about Flight 370, "Someone is hiding something. It is not fair that MAS and Malaysia should take the blame," he wrote. Dr Mahathir suggested the United States' Central Intelligence Agency had knowledge of the disappearance of the plane with 239 people on board but was not sharing it with Malaysia.

He also claimed that Boeing, the plane's maker, and "certain" government agencies, have the ability to remotely take over control of commercial airliners such as the missing Boeing 777.

"For some reason, the media will not print anything that involves Boeing or the CIA," he said.

"The plane is somewhere, maybe without MAS [Malaysia Airlines] markings," he said. "It is a waste of time and money to look for debris or oil slick or to listen for pings from the black box."

Dr Mahathir wrote in his latest blog that planes "don't just disappear ...certainly not these days, with all  the powerful communications   systems, radio and satellite tracking  and filmless cameras which operate  almost indefinitely, and possess huge storage capacities".

"Can it not be that the pilots of MH370 lost control of their aircraft after someone directly or remotely activated the equipment for seizure of control of 

the aircraft?" he wrote.

Meanwhile, relatives of the 12 crew members on the plane claim Malaysia Airlines abandoned them after discovering they had engaged US law firm 

Ribbeck Law Chartered  for legal assistance.

Jacquita Gonzales, the wife of Patrick Gomez who was the in-flight supervisor on MH370, said the airline sent relatives an email last Friday advising that 

caregivers who had been assigned to help families had been terminated. The airline earlier this month closed family assistance and accommodation centers in Beijing.

"...it's actually not right because our caregivers are not there to advise on legal matters." Ms Gonzales said the airline had told relatives to now engage with the airline through lawyers.

"As far as I am concerned, my husband is still an employee of MAS...as far as I am concerned, my husband is still on MH370, a flight to Beijing and he has not come back from Beijing yet," she said.
