Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) said the Malaysian government is trying to divert criticism away from itself by announcing the missing Malaysia Airlines plane crashed in the southern Indian Ocean.
King, who has been critical of the Malaysian government’s search effort since the plane went missing earlier this month, said Monday it is hard to justify the announcement without definitive proof.
“No way is our government saying that this is definitive, and I don’t know what could have justified the prime minister doing that today other than to deflect some of this criticism he has been getting,” he said on Fox News.
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said Monday that Flight MH370 “ended in the southern Indian ocean” without any survivors. The determination was based on a new analysis and was shared out of respect for the families of the 239 passengers, he said during a news conference.
“I think he was doing that just trying to get attention away from him and away from the fact that Malaysia has done such a terrible job,” King said.
