Introduced as an anti-terrorism measure following 9/11, this ensures that every number is registered to a traceable person. But in this case police traced the number to a shop selling SIM cards in Kuala Lumpur. They found that it had been bought ‘very recently’ by someone who gave a woman’s name – but was using a false identity.

Well, that worked out great, didn't it.

If the phrase “Allahu Akbar” was spoken at any time by either party during that call, then the passengers on that flight are now statistics in the ongoing jihad against civilization.

Appears there are abundant phony ids available in that part of the world or rather worldwide including U.S.

All that searching around in the vastness of the southern Indian ocean is pure Barbra Streisand to distract the low information types. That A/C is somewhere up north, the government/governments know it and are using the time to set up assault teams to go get it. We are dealing with complex international diplomatic problems here. The truth will out...sooner but maybe later. JMHO!

16 + days later, they are preparing to talk to his estranged wife???

That would have been one of my first interviews!!!

How incompetent can any one country be about an investigation?

[Dr. Ursus]

The media has been tap dancing about this story and so has the Malaysian government!

Did the jet have a pico booster installed that allowed it to receive cell calls at altitude?

It was a long cool woman in a black dress.....

Meanwhile, I’d like to hear any Freepers inclined to defend George W. Bush—explain his 9/11 coverup:

A sim purchased using a false identity?

Putmechased by the same Iranian businessman who bought the tickets for the two Iranian “asylum-seekers”?

Gee, an airlines pilot banging a woman not his wife, how incredibly unusual and threatening

[Cementjungle]

I’m sure the NSA has a recording of the call.

Check out any and all insurance policies on or by the pilot and who the beneficiary is.

Then check out where along the southern route he may have bailed out.

[Uncle Chip]

his estranged wife and family

How "estranged" could she be since they were all living under the same roof until the day before the flight???

Was she the mystery wonman???

Was she the one who called on the throw-away phone just before the flight???

Were they arranging for a place for her to pick him up -- in the waters off Indonesia???

Check all insurance policies on him for sure.
