综合外媒报道，一位马来西亚政府官员15日表示，调查人员已经确认，有一位或以上拥有资深飞行经验的人员劫持了失联客机MH370，关闭通讯系统，改变航线。

Although piracy is no longer a theory, the motives are yet to be established, the official was quoted as saying.

这名参加调查的官员还称，劫机人员未说出动机，也未提出诉求，尚不清楚飞机被开往何处。

Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak is scheduled to hold a press conference in Kuala Lumpur in the early afternoon.A multinational intensive search has so far failed to locate the plane, which disappeared from radar early Saturday morning last week while carrying 239 people from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. Among the 227 passengers 154 are Chinese.

早些时候，有知情人士称，MH370曾向卫星发出信号，于燃油耗尽之前曾在印度洋上飞行数小时，和地面指挥中心失去联系5个小时之内，MH370持续发出信号。
