Malaysia asks help on passengers' info

Two senior US law enforcement officials told ABC News that the plane performed "tactical evasion maneuvers" after it disappeared from radar. US authorities believe only a person with extensive flight or engineering experience could have executed the maneuvers, the report said.

Malaysian authorities have refocused their investigation to the crew and passengers, as well as engineers who may have had contact with the aircraft before takeoff.

But "so far no evidence shows that any particular person or several people on board had motivation for hijacking the plane and targeting a certain building," Hishammuddin Hussein, Malaysia's acting transport minister, said.

At Sunday's news conference, Hussein said the search and rescue mission continues to be a multinational effort led by Malaysia. To date, 25 countries have joined the effort. China plans to send five more experts in aviation search and rescue to Malaysia, the Chinese embassy in Malaysia told China Daily.
