KUALA LUMPUR: The Royal Malaysian Air Force did not intercept Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 after it was detected by military radar as it assumed air traffic control had asked it to turn back.
"The plane was detected by our military radar but we assumed the turn-back done by MH370 was due to instructions from the air traffic control tower," said deputy Defense Minister Datuk Abdul Rahim Bakri during his winding-up address for the Ministry Wednesday.
