Missing plane's aircraft pilot a friend of Malaysia's Oppn leader

Kuala Lumpur, March 17: As the suspense over the disappearance of the Malaysian Airlines jet deepens, it was revealed that the pilot of the missing flight, Zaharie Ahmad Shah, is close to the country's opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim. However, friends of Shah denied that the latter is a terrorist.

Hours before he took charge of MH 370, Shah attended the Court of Appeal in Malaysia's new administrative capital Putrajaya for a hearing on Anwar who is facing charges of sodomy. Anwar was sentenced to five years of imprisonment. Did that provoke Shah?
