KL launches terror probe with FBI help
Probe to centre on suspect passengers with stolen passports
[KUALA LUMPUR] Malaysia yesterday launched a terror probe into the disappearance of a passenger jet carrying 239 people, investigating suspect passengers who boarded with stolen passports.
Malaysia's Prime Minister Najib Razak yesterday said airport security screening in the country would be reviewed. "We will review all security protocols and, if needed, we will enhance them," Mr Najib was quoted saying in The Star newspaper. He stressed: "If necessary, because we still do not know the cause of the incident."
The United States sent the FBI to investigate after Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 vanished from the radar early Saturday somewhere at sea between Malaysia and Vietnam, but stressed there was no evidence of terrorism yet.
