Russian daily, Moskovsky Komsomolets, reported that the missing Malaysian plane was hijacked to the Afghan province of Kandahar and that the pilots were “not guilty”.

The paper cited an “anonymous source in the intelligence agencies” in Russia.
“Flight MH 370 Malaysia Airlines missing on March 8th with 239 passengers was hijacked. Pilots are not guilty, the plane was hijacked by unknown terrorists.”

“We know that the name of the terrorist who gave instructions to pilots is ‘Hitch’. The plane is in Afghanistan not far from Kandahar near the border with Pakistan,” claimed the newspaper–which has a circulation of about 1.1 million.

It added, “Plane is on the road near the mountain range, and has a broken wing. Maybe it made a hard landing. All passengers survived, they live in shacks almost without food.”

It then said that “experts” on the plane were taken into a bunker in Pakistan. “Twenty Asian specialists were captured. There is one Japanese among them,” it said, possibly referring to employees with the Freescale Semiconductor firm.

However, the newspaper’s claims have not been echoed in mainstream media outlets in the United States or around the world.

Malaysian authorities have said that the plane disappeared in the Indian Ocean, and there’s a massive search team looking for debris or signs of the aircraft.
