Missing Plane: Radar Indicates It Flew Towards 'Andaman Islands'



Sources have brought reports  that radar-tracking evidence showed the missing Malaysia Airlines plane was deliberately flown towards India's Andaman Islands.
Malaysia's acting transport minister Hishammuddin Hussein has confirmed the search had been expanded into the Indian Ocean - on the opposite side of Malaysia from where contact with the jet was lost nearly a week ago.
He also said there was evidence of a plane turning back, but it may not have been the missing flight.
It comes as sources familiar with the investigation told Reuters the plane was flown hundreds of miles off course towards the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, a chain of isles in the Andaman Sea, which is part of Indian Ocean.
"What we can say is we are looking at sabotage, with hijack still on the cards," a Malaysian police source told Reuters.
After scouring the seas around the Andaman Islands, India has also started searching hundreds of small, uninhabited islands in the region.
