US Republican Congressman Peter King, who heads the powerful House Sub-Committee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence, and who has announced plans to contest the 2016 US presidential race has accused Malaysia of withholding vital information that MH370 did not crash but instead flew on for hours after it lost contact with ground control on March 8. He was reported on Fox News to have demanded that US law enforcement agencies be given a bigger role in the disappearance of MH370. The US lawmaker insisted that -- the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), --the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) -- the FBI, and -- Interpol, must have a MORE “hands on” role in the investigation currently led by Malaysia. Three US citizens were listed among the 227 passengers on MH370. King’s remonstrations were a MARKED RISE IN RHETORIC coming from the US for Malaysia to yield to the country’s agencies on MH370. - See more at: themalaymailonline/malaysia/article/fbi-included-in-mh370-probe-from-day-1-says-minister#sthash.qLFdyqOl.dpuf
