Abrar Hussain: Mala-ysia has announced that it will release a highly anticipated report regarding the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 on July 30, according to a statement by the transport minister yesterday. The country had called off a privately-funded underwater search in May. The aircraft became one of the world’s greatest aviation mysteries when it vanished with 239 passengers aboard en route to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur on March 8, 2014.
Voice 370, a group representing the relatives, has previously urged the Malaysian government for a review of the flight, including “any possible falsification or elimination of records related to MH370 and its maintenance”.
The only confirmed traces of the Boeing 777 aircraft have been three wing fragments washed up on Indian Ocean coasts. The private-funded search that Malaysia had called off on May 29 covered 112,000 sq in the southern Indian Ocean within three months. Unfortunately, it ended with no significant new findings. It was the second major search after Australia, China and Malaysia ended a fruitless $147.06 million search across an area of 120,000 sq km last year. Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad has said his country would consider resuming the search if “new clues came to light.” Source: Reuters
