Default BREAKING NEWS: MH370 'hijacked and in Afghanistan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Russian intelligence source claims all passengers and crew are alive but held hostage

A Russian newspaper has claimed that Flight MH370 was hijacked by "unknown terrorists" and flown to Afghanistan, where the crew and passengers are now being held hostage.

The extraordinary comments, attributed to a Russian intelligence source, appeared in the Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper.

The source told the paper: "Flight MH370 Malaysia Airlines missing on March 8 with 239 passengers was hijacked.

"Pilots are not guilty; the plane was hijacked by unknown terrorists.

"We know that the name of the terrorist who gave instructions to pilots is "Hitch."

"The plane is in Afghanistan not far from Kandahar near the border with Pakistan."

Not breaking news. An article in a russian newspaper is just that. The claim is quite remarkable and goes against lots of previous evidence. It would have to be backed by substantial additional information before taken seriously.

What kind of terrorist hijacks a plane and keeps quiet about it for a month, neither claiming credit nor making demands? I'm not buying.

All I can say is it's a good thing there aren't any cameras in Russia or Afghanistan. Maybe they disguised the plane as a pickup truck to fool everybody.

Horsefeathers!!

So all the radar from many countries wasn't working and "they" dropped a bogus "pinger" in the Indian Ocean, ridiculous.

Has anyone given any consideration that the airspace over Afghanistan is controlled by the US military, and considering why they are there in the first place, wouldn't you think a stray passenger jet without a flight plan might result in some pretty immediate action?

I'm active duty Air Force currently in Afghanistan. If that plane were in our (US) airspace for 1 minute, we'd know about it.

Would've fit if they claimed it was hidden in Hooterville.

Isn't that the same paper that featured a front-page drawing of a planet, with an oblong object floating nearby, and captioned;

'Space probe photographs Giant Space Cucumber,,,,,,,,,,,And it's Headed For EARTH!!!!!'
