Washington (CNN) -- U.S. intelligence officials are leaning toward the theory that "those in the cockpit" -- the pilots of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 -- were deliberately responsible for the mysterious disappearance of the commercial jetliner, a U.S. official with direct knowledge of the latest thinking told CNN on Saturday.
The revelation followed news that Malaysian authorities searched the home of the lead pilot, a move that came the same day that Prime Minister Najib Razak told reporters the plane veered off course due to apparent deliberate action taken by somebody on board.
The Malaysian government had been looking for a reason to search the home of the pilot and the co-pilot for several days. But it was only in the last 24 to 36 hours when radar and satellite data came to light that authorities believed they had sufficient reason to go through the residences, according to the U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
"The Malaysians don't do this lightly," the official said. It's not clear whether the Malaysian government believes one or both the men could have been responsible for whatever happened to the plane when the Boeing 777-200 ER disappeared March 8 en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
The official emphasized no final conclusions have been drawn and all the internal intelligence discussions are based on preliminary assessments of what is known to date. Other scenarios could still emerge. A source close to the investigation told CNN that Malaysian police had search the home of pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shah, 53. Shah lives in an upscale gated community in Shah Alam, outside Malaysia's capital of Kuala Lumpur.
Two vans were loaded with small bags, similar to shopping bags, at the home of the co-pilot, 27-year-old Farq Ab Hamid.

What is truth(about MH370) in this day and age?
This is what you say in public to try to get a response from the perps. Classic FBI strategy.

BREAKING

In Flight Simulator, are there risks of killing your pax like there are in SimLife, SimCity, etc?
“U.S. officials lean toward ‘those in the cockpit’ behind missing flight”
Sounds like something I posited days ago which angered some FReepers.
The more this stuff is leaked out to the press the more I am vindicated on what I think happened.
It’s too bad that we’ll never know what happened.
but the ice cream is delicious ... no, please don’t send more broccoli, please.
Saw this posted at Drudge.
Satellite data shows hijacked MH370 was last seen flying towards Pakistan OR Indian Ocean as investigators search pilots’ luxury homes and reveal one had home-made flight simulator
I have posited previously that they would have gone to Iran, Pakistan, or North Korea because those nations have nukes.
Where would it be used? DC or NYC.
Rupert Murdoch says...
“World seems transfixed by 777 disappearance. Maybe no crash but stolen, effectively hidden, perhaps in Northern Pakistan, like Bin Laden.”

Anyway what do you think of this?
(from wikipedia) "A prototype Metascreen is a claimed invisibility cloak, which is just few micrometers thick and to a limited extent can hide 3D objects from microwaves in their natural environment, in their natural positions, in all directions, and from all of the observer's positions. It was prepared at the University of Texas, Austin by Professor Andrea Alù."
Kind of an odd coincidence that both Freescale and this guy are in Austin Texas.
Another day another theory. Tomorrow they will suspect global warming.
Yep, it was planned well in advance. His family met him where ever he went to live, and hey- what Muslim country would best meet his political needs? Do we know?
My guess is Israel. They know Obama will do nothing about it.
EWWEEE! What is that?
Thank You ... I’ve changed my mind ... That looks Great!!! Are any worms involved?
