Missing malaysian flight "a mystery"

The disappearance of a Malaysia Airlines flight remains "a mystery", the country's civil aviation chief has said.

Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 disappeared three days ago mid-way between Beijing and Kuala Lumpur. Officials have not ruled out hijacking as a possible cause of the missing flight, reports the BBC. The search continues for any related evidence, including a yellow life raft, which was ultimately found to be unconnected to MH370.

239 passengers were on board.
