Hat tip Atlas Shrugs
The NY Daily News article below reports that Malaysian authorities have retrieved deleted information from MAS 370 pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shah's home flight simulator that shows a programmed flight far out into the Indian Ocean and a landing on a short runway at an unspecified island.

If accurate, this puts the focus squarely on Shah. As to possible motive, Atlas Shrugs takes us back to Shah's support for Islamist Malaysian opposition politician Anwar Ibrahim, a man with a real suspicious background. Remember that on the day prior to the jet's disappearance, Shah attended a court hearing for Ibrahim and wore a t-shirt that read, "Democracy is dead".

We still don't know with certainty what happened or why, but if Shah is the guilty party, the question is motive. The answer to that may lie with Ibrahim. We are left with the possibility, maybe the likelihood, that this was an act of jihad.
Except the opposition party is not jihadist, and the ruling party leaned Islamist before the term existed.
ReplyDeleteI mean, for someone who never misses a chance to stand up for Iranian gays, you sure haven't been following the political shenanigans used to put away the opposition leader you mention.
What's more interesting is, if the pilot had an island he planned to land on ... maybe that's why nobody has found the plane in the ocean?
