Malaysia’s civil aviation chief has said the fate of a missing Malaysia Airlines jet remains “a mystery”.<\/p>\n

Azharuddin Abdul Rahman said officials had not ruled out hijacking as a cause of the plane’s disappearance.<\/p>\n

He said all reported sightings of debris from the plane in the seas south of Vietnam were unconfirmed.<\/p>\n

Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 vanished from radar almost three days ago en route to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur, with 239 people on board.<\/p>\n

Relatives of the missing passengers have been told to prepare for the worst.<\/p>\n

‘Searching every second’<\/strong><\/p>\n

Azharuddin Abdul Rahman, who heads the department of civil aviation, told reporters in Kuala Lumpur: “Unfortunately we have not found anything that appears to be objects from the aircraft, let alone the aircraft.”<\/p>\n

He added that they were intensifying efforts to find the plane, and the search would “take as long as it takes”.<\/p>\n

“We are every hour, every second looking at every area of the sea.”<\/p>\n

There are now 40 ships and 34 aircraft from nine different nations taking part in the search in the seas off Vietnam and Malaysia.<\/p>\n

Late on Sunday, the Vietnamese authorities said two objects had been sighted in waters south of Vietnam which appeared to resemble aircraft parts, including a door.<\/p>\n

The debris was in a similar area to a possible oil slick seen by Vietnamese navy planes on Saturday.<\/p>\n

But Azharuddin Abdul Rahman said on Monday that this sighting had never been officially verified and could not be confirmed.<\/p>\n

Samples of the oil had been collected and sent to a laboratory for analysis to see if it came from the plane, he said.<\/p>\n

US Navy officials earlier said their aircraft had not seen any debris associated with commercial aircraft wreckage.<\/p>\n
