Islamabad, March 16: The

government has denied media reports that said the missing Beijing-bound

jetliner, with 239

and crew on board, might be hidden somewhere in Pakistan.

Shujaat Azeem, special aviation assistant to the Pakistan prime minister, said the flight disappeared very far off from Pakistan, was never visible on the country's radars, and hence there was no chance Pakistan was hiding it, The Nation reported.
