COMMENT: In FTR #790, we dis­cussed the cir­cum­stances sur­round­ing the dis­ap­pear­ance of Malaysia Air­lines Flight 370. A recent Daily Mail story rein­forces the inves­tiga­tive focus on the plane’s pilot–Zaharie Shah. It also rein­forces the fact that Shah was a fol­lower of Anwar Ibrahim.

The story does not men­tion, how­ever that Anwar Ibrahim is:

• A promi­nent mem­ber of the Mus­lim Brotherhood.
• A c0-founder of the Inter­na­tional Insti­tute of Islamic Thought–one of the insti­tu­tions that was a focal point of the Oper­a­tions Green Quest raids of 3/20/2002. Those raids cen­tered on the SAAR net­work, indi­vid­u­als and insti­tu­tions appar­ently involved with fund­ing Al Qaeda, Hamas and Pales­tin­ian Islamic Jihad.
• A con­sult­ing client of GOP king­pin Grover Norquist.

“Revealed: Cap­tain Zaharie Shah Is the ‘Chief Sus­pect’ in Offi­cial MH370 Inves­ti­ga­tion” by Lil­lian Radulova; The Daily Mail [UK]; 6/22/2014.

Cap­tain Zaharie Shah, 53, was the main sub­ject of the crim­i­nal inquiry

Intel­li­gence checks on every­one else on board the flight were cleared. The cap­tain had no future social or work plans, unlike the rest of the crew. Evi­dence from his pro­grammed flight sim­u­la­tor also allegedly showed him rehears­ing land­ing on small run­way in south­ern Indian Ocean. The pro­gram was deleted but later recov­ered by com­puter experts.

The cap­tain of MH370 is now ‘chief sus­pect’ in Malaysia’s offi­cial police inves­ti­ga­tion into the ongo­ing mys­tery of the Malaysia Air­lines jet’s dis­ap­pear­ance — after inves­ti­ga­tors found sus­pi­cious evi­dence from a flight sim­u­la­tor in his home.

Cap­tain Zaharie Shah, 53, report­edly used his home sim­u­la­tor to prac­tice take-off and land­ings in remote loca­tions, includ­ing some airstrips in the south­ern Indian Ocean.

Inves­ti­ga­tors have now man­aged to obtain the files — which had been deleted before they swept the machine.

 After more than 170 inter­views, detec­tives deter­mined that Cap­tain Shah was the most likely cul­prit if the plane — which went miss­ing on March 8 with 239 peo­ple on board — was lost due to human inter­ven­tion, accord­ing to The Sun­day Times.

The crim­i­nal inquiry com­pleted intel­li­gence checks on all of the peo­ple on board the flight to Bei­jing via Kuala Lumpur, but the only indi­vid­ual arous­ing sus­pi­cion was Cap­tain Zaharie. . . .

. . . . The police inves­ti­ga­tion is still ongo­ing. To date no con­clu­sions can be made as to the con­trib­u­tor to the inci­dent and it would be sub judice (a legal term refer­ring to not com­ment­ing on ongo­ing cases) to say so,’ Malaysian police were quoted a saying.

‘Nev­er­the­less, the police are still look­ing into all pos­si­ble angles.’

Cap­tain Shah was said to be a ‘fanat­i­cal’ sup­porter of the country’s oppo­si­tion leader Anwar Ibrahim — jailed for homo­sex­u­al­ity just hours before the jet disappeared.

He was described as was an ‘obses­sive’ sup­porter of Ibrahim. And hours before the doomed flight left Kuala Lumpur it is under­stood 53-year-old Shah attended a con­tro­ver­sial trial in which Ibrahim was jailed for five years.

Cam­paign­ers say the politi­cian, the key chal­lenger to Malaysia’s rul­ing party, was the vic­tim of a long-running smear cam­paign and had faced trumped-up charges.

Police sources have con­firmed that Shah was a vocal polit­i­cal activist – and fear that the court deci­sion left him pro­foundly upset. It was against this back­ground that, seven hours later, he took con­trol of a Boe­ing 777–200 bound for Bei­jing and car­ry­ing 238 pas­sen­gers and crew. . . .

Australian Report Postulates Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 Lost Oxygen

Authorities Shifting Search on Premise MH370 Was on Autopilot Across Indian Ocean

SYDNEY—Australian authorities said they believe that someone onboard Malaysia Airlines 3786.KU +2.44% Flight 370 switched on the autopilot system deliberately after the plane turned toward the southern Indian Ocean. They also theorized that all 239 passengers and crew had become unresponsive, possibly after being deprived of oxygen, before the plane ran out of fuel and crashed.

Those were the main reasons the Australian Transport Safety Bureau gave in a report Thursday for setting a massive new search area—the third in as many months for the airliner, which disappeared March 8. The new hunt is slated to restart in August as much as 600 miles south of the previous underwater focus.

Australian Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss said it was "highly, highly likely" the autopilot was switched on deliberately after the plane had veered off its assigned course from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

That is more definitive than investigators have been about human intervention setting up the flight path toward one of the most remote sections of the globe.

The ATSB stressed, however, that its conclusions weren't backed up by hard evidence, and that Malaysian authorities heading the overall probe may not share their view.

Left unanswered are why Flight 370 deviated sharply from its planned route, or what might have caused the oxygen depletion, known as hypoxia, if that is what occurred.

The Malaysian government and Malaysia Airlines didn't comment on the report.

The Australians said they justified their assumptions in part because the plane appeared to travel for a long period—about five hours—without any radio communication or dramatic turns or deviations, and presumably without significant altitude changes. They also looked at aircraft maneuvers in previous commercial-plane crashes related to hypoxia. (See passenger profiles.)

Nearly four months after Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared, Australian authorities have shifted the search zone some 600 miles south in the Indian Ocean. The WSJ's Ramy Inocencio speaks with Daniel Stacey about the change.

Martin Dolan, chief commissioner of the ATSB, discounted the possibility that the autopilot could have activated automatically, perhaps in the wake of a massive systems failure, though he didn't provide a detailed explanation. "If the autopilot was operational it's because it's switched on," he said.

Investigators already believed someone disabled the jet's satellite-messaging system and caused the plane's transponders to stop working much
