Malaysia blaming United States and Australia?

*****snip*****

Malaysia: U.S. May Be Hiding Something
Malaysian officials believe Australia and the U.S. may be withholding data that could aid the search for the missing plane, Business Insider reported, citing the New Strait Times.

The Malaysian government-operated newspaper said that radar systems and satellites owned by the two countries may have been able to track the flight if it crashed in the area.

The U.S. and Australia have not responded to the accusations. The claims likely speak more to the tension between Malaysia and other countries aiding the search than any actual lack of disclosure.

Perhaps the ultimate and intended result of the pilot's homicidal/suicidal action due to horrific internal Malaysian politics.

China seems ominously silent IMO given the passenger numbers of Chinese on that ill-fated flight.

Perhaps they see an expansionist opportunity here? Not over by far.
