'No proof Chinese passengers hijacked plane'

Chinese authorities have eliminated the possibility of Chinese passengers being involved in terrorism and sabotage activities on the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, the Chinese ambassador to Malaysia confirmed.

Huang Hui Kang said the Chinese authorities found “no reason or evidence” to suspect a Uygur passenger from Tibet was involved in sabotaging the plane.

“As for the rest of the 151 Chinese passengers, we have found no evidence to show they were involved in any attempt against MH370. Hence this has eliminated any suspicion of terrorism and sabotage from them,” he said in a media briefing at the embassy today.

According to the manifest of the missing flight, there were 152 passengers from China, one from Hong Kong, and one from Taiwan.
