Missing Malaysian plane was Hijacked-Official reveals

 After 7 days of speculation. Investigators have concluded that one or more people with significant flying experience hijacked the missing Malaysia Airlines jet, switched off communication devices and steered it off-course.A Malaysian official told AP that no motive has been established and no demands have been made known, and it is not yet clear where the plane was taken.
However, the representative who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that hijacking was no longer just a theory: 'It is conclusive'.
The Boeing 777's communication with the ground was severed just under one hour into a flight March 8 from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
Malaysian officials have said radar data suggests it may have turned back and crossed over the Malaysian peninsula after setting out on a northeastern path toward the Chinese capital.
The Malaysian official said only a skilled aviator could navigate the plane the way it was flown after its last confirmed location over the South China Sea, and that it appeared to have been steered to avoid radar detection. The plane had enough fuel to fly for at least five hours after its last know location, meaning a vast swath of South and Southeast Asia would be within its reach.
