Missing MAS flight: Authorities not ruling Uighur link out


Mystery of MH370_new

KUALA LUMPUR: There is speculation that militants from China's Uighur Muslim minority could be involved the missing Malaysia Airlines MH370 airplane, as it occurred just one week after knife-wielding assailants killed at least 29 people at a train station in the southwestern Chinese city of Kunming.

A Malaysian official said authorities were not ruling out Uighur involvement in the jet's disappearance, noting that Uighurs were deported to China from Malaysia in 2011 and 2012 for carrying false passports.
