Missing MAS flight: Investigators probing possible airport security lapse


KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian officials are poring over CCTV footage and questioning immigration officers and guards at Kuala Lumpur International Airport, concerned that a security breach may be connected to the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.

Suspicions that the Beijing-bound Boeing jet, which vanished on Saturday with 239 people on board, may have been hijacked or bombed have risen after at least two passengers were found to be using stolen passports, though the Government stressed it was considering all possibilities.
