Police hunt mystery woman who made final phone call to doomed jet captain

Police hunt mystery woman who made final phone call to doomed jet captain as first picture emerges of his estranged wife and family...FULL TITLE

Call was made to Captain Shah just hours before he took off in MH370 Pay-as-you-go phone which made the call was bought with fake ID Fake ID was used to get around security measures put in place after 9/11 Increases fears Captain Shah may have links to terrorism Investigators will soon question the captain's estranged wife in detail

The captain of missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 received a two-minute call shortly before take-off from a mystery woman using a mobile phone number obtained under a false identity.

It was one of the last calls made to or from the mobile of Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah in the hours before his Boeing 777 left Kuala Lumpur 16 days ago.

Investigators are treating it as potentially significant because anyone buying a pay-as-you-go SIM card in Malaysia has to fill out a form giving their identity card or passport number.

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.

The discovery raises fears of a possible link between Captain Zaharie, 53, and terror groups whose members routinely use untraceable SIM cards.

Everyone else who spoke to the pilot on his phone in the hours before the flight took off has already been interviewed.

In a separate development, The Mail on Sunday has learned that investigators are now poised to question Captain Shah’s estranged wife in detail.

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.

Good, profound post. Its a fundamental truth. Passing laws and even throwing tons of money at problems are often just feel good measures that in reality accomplish little, if anything.

If the phrase “Allahu Akbar” was spoken

********
If it was, it will be sanitized. The public will never know.

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!

There are two separate areas of investigation for the arm chair detective.

Who was behind the plot?

Where did the plane go?

Could be two unrelated things..such as

UFO in air space due Iran Hijacking it..that is what the plane would be at that point...

And what State shot it down and now is trying to cover it up...

One plausible scenario for what happened to the plane and why some areas are not being searched by people who have the capability to find it (such as the US)

Yup. I think the whole two-thirds-of-the-way-to-Antarctica thing is a ruse. I’ll eat my words if I’m proven wrong, but I smell a rat and it stinks.

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?

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

Yep. Just demand that all phone and SIM card sales be videotaped. Problem solved and another barn door nailed shut as horses run freely in our midst.

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

I don’t believe this. Defies all logic.
