The co-pilot of missing Malaysian airliner MH370 attempted to make a mid-flight call from his mobile phone just before the plane vanished from radar screens, a report said Saturday citing unnamed investigators.<\/p>\n

The call ended abruptly possibly “because the aircraft was fast moving away from the (telecommunications) tower”, a local English daily quoted a source as saying.<\/p>\n

But it also quoted another source saying that while Fariq Abdul Hamid’s “line was reattached”, there was no certainty that a call was made from the Boeing 777 that vanished on March 8.<\/p>\n

\"vd-MH370-408x264\"<\/a>The report – titled a “desperate call for help” – did not say who he was trying to contact.<\/p>\n

Fariq and Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah have come under intense scrutiny after the plane mysteriously vanished en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board.<\/p>\n

Investigators last month indicated that the flight was deliberately diverted and its communication systems manually switched off as it was leaving Malaysian airspace, triggering a criminal investigation by police that has revealed little so far.<\/p>\n

The fate of flight MH370 has been shrouded in mystery, with a number of theories put forward including a hijacking or terrorist attack and a pilot gone rogue.<\/p>\n

There have been unconfirmed previous reports in the Malaysian media of calls by the captain before or during the flight but no details have been released.<\/p>\n

The local English daily report said that Flight 370 flew low enough near Penang island on Malaysia’s west coast – after turning off course – for a telecommunications tower to pick up the co-pilot’s phone signal.<\/p>\n

The phone line was “reattached” between the time the plane veered off course and blipped off the radar, the government-controlled paper quoted the second source as saying.<\/p>\n

“A ‘reattachment’ does not necessarily mean that a call was made. It can also be the result of the phone being switched on again.”<\/p>\n

Malaysia’s transport ministry told AFP that it was examining the report and will issue a response. \u2013 AFP<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
