The Malayasian Airlines Flight MH370, carrying 227 passengers and a dozen Malaysian crew members en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, lost contact with air controllers Saturday, two hours after takeoff. Security authorities started suspecting terrorism when it was discovered that an Italian national listed on the manifest was not on the plane but in Thailand, and an Austrian citizen reported his passport was stolen in Thailand two years ago. The Vietnam air force reported oil slicks in the sea off southern Vietnam, but no sign of wreckage. An explosion in the luggage hold or a suicide bomber in the passenger section could have caused the plane to vanish in a sudden catastrophe before an emergency was signaled.
"What caused the disappearance of the 777 Boeing jumbo jet remains a mystery. There's also no explanation yet for the identity of two passengers on the flight manifest."
