The plot thickens. Now the investigation is focusing a Uighur with flight training who was on board. A Uighur is a Chinese Muslim. Media prefers to use Uighur the way the UK media uses Asian for Muslim and the French media use immigrant or youth for Muslim and so on. The Uighurs have been waging raging jihad with bomb attacks in Tienanmen Square, mass murder in a railway station last week, etc. Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, China, Philippines, this is the nexus of the Asian jihad.
In  my ongoing coverage of the mysterious disappearance of flight MH370 — one of the most popular tourist routes in Asia — I previously reported that a jihadist convicted of plotting a similar attacks on an aircraft says he gave explosives to a Malaysian terror cell which included a pilot.
We know the plane turned around. We know that it flew up to four hours with the transmission turned off. No contact – so who was flying the plane?
Malaysian authorities said Wednesday that a review of military radar records showed plots of what might have been the plane turning back, crossing over the country and flying to the Strait of Malacca, a busy shipping lane west of the narrow nation.
It follows reports that an anonymous pilot told Malaysian newspapers that he had heard a ‘mumbled’ last transmission from the aircraft – although this is contradicted by air traffic controllers who say there was no distress call.
…. a growing body of evidence is beginning to point towards a terrorist attack.
And dramatically, a second pilot who was in the skies over the South China Sea when the 777 vanished has spoken about hearing ‘mumbling’ at the other end of communications with the plane.
The captain, who asked to remain anonymous, told Malaysian media outlets he was asked to get in contact with the pilot flying the missing plane on an emergency frequency and establish their position.
He said he believes he spoke to the co-pilot, but that there were ‘interference’ and ‘mumbling’ before they lost the connection (more here).

Police investigating the backgrounds of all 239 people aboard the missing Malaysia Airlines flight are paying “special attention” to a 35 year-old Chinese Uighur man who undertook flight simulation training, according to a report in a leading Malay language newspaper in Kuala Lumpur.
The Uighurs Muslim ethnic minority group from the north-western Chinese province of Xinjiang have been battling for independence since they were brought under Chinese control in 1949, claiming they are oppressed by China’s authoritarian government and face religious restrictions and widespread discrimination.
Earlier this month the Uighurs, who make up 45 percent of the population of Xinjiang, were blamed for a violent attack at a Chinese train station.

At least 100 people have been killed in the past year in violent clashes between Uighurs and Chinese security forces.
The Harian Metro newspaper quoted an unnamed source as saying the man is not a suspect over the plane’s disappearance but that investigators were delving into his background.
According to the source the man has a PHD from a university in Britain was recently worked as a lecturer at a university in Turkey.
The source said he undertook flight simulation training in Sweden in around 2006….
