Malaysia Airlines MH370 Wish we could hijack the plane, say Pakistani Taliban UN nuke watchdog rules out any explosion or plane crash Even as speculations of all sorts, including that of plane crash, are doing the rounds regarding the missing plane, a Vienna-based UN nuke watchdog - Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO) - has claimed that no crash or big explosion was detected. Speaking to the reporters, Spokesman for UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, Stephane Dujarric said, Regarding the missing Malaysian Airlines flight… the Vienna-based CTBTO confirmed that neither an explosion nor a plane crash on land or on water had been detected so far, a PTI report said. Usually, CTBTOs International Monitoring System (IMS) uses few techniques to detect nuclear explosions but the system can also spot any huge explosion like that of an aircraft and can also measure its impact on the ground or water, added Dujarric. 12:00 pm: Wish we could hijack such a plane: Pak Taliban As the hunt for the missing jet continues, the investigators have not ruled out the possibility of foul play like hijack, into the disappearance of the plane; with some hinting that the jet might have been veered towards Taliban controlled areas near Pak-Afghan border. However, a Pakistani Taliban commander has denied having any role into the jets disappearance, saying that they could only dream about such an operation, reported the Reuters. We wish we had an opportunity to hijack such a plane, Reuters quoted him as saying. It has been ten days since Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 with 239 people on board, disappeared en route Beijing from Kuala Lumpur. But despite a frantic search operation involving dozens of nations and a higher number of aircraft and ships, investigators have nothing but few nuggets of clues,weaving numerous theories. The latest theory being assumed is that the jet might have been flown to somewhere in Taliban controlled area of Afghanistan. Meanwhile, the area of search now encompasses Central Asian countries, like Kazakhstan in the north to the Indian Ocean down south below Indonesia. The jets contact from ground air traffic controllers was lost at around 1:30 am on March 8.
