Malaysia seeks Pakistan help over missing jet issue

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia on Sunday asked nearly a dozen Asian countries including Pakistan to share information that may help finding the missing plane. The number of countries involved in efforts to find a missing passenger jet had nearly doubled to 25 as it began a new push to find the plane across a vast arc of land and ocean. "The number of countries involved in the search and rescue operation has increased from 14 to 25, which brings new challenges of coordination and diplomacy to the search effort," said Hishammuddin Hussein, Malaysia's defense and transport minister.
