Missing MH370: Wish we could hijack the plane, say Pakistani 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 jet's 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 jet's contact from ground air traffic controllers was lost at around 1:30 am on March 8.
